@nicq.chen,

Thank you for writing to Aspose Support team.

You need to use Preserve embedded EML format while converting to MSG format. Please have a look at the following code sample for your kind reference. If the issue still persists, please share your sample PST file and code with us for further investigation at our end.

Sample Code

string dataDir = RunExamples.GetDataDir_Email();

var eml = MailMessage.Load(dataDir + "sample.eml", new EmlLoadOptions());

var options = MapiConversionOptions.UnicodeFormat;

//Preserve Embedded Message Format
options.PreserveEmbeddedMessageFormat = true;

//Convert EML to MSG with Options
var msg = MapiMessage.FromMailMessage(eml, options);

thanks, it worked.

                    EmlLoadOptions emlLoadOptions = new EmlLoadOptions();
                    emlLoadOptions.setPreserveEmbeddedMessageFormat(true);
                    emlLoadOptions.setPreserveTnefAttachments(true);
                    MailMessage eml = MailMessage.load(new ByteArrayInputStream(attachment.getBinaryData()), emlLoadOptions);

                    MapiConversionOptions opts = MapiConversionOptions.getUnicodeFormat();
                    opts.setPreserveEmbeddedMessageFormat(true);
                    opts.setUseBodyCompression(false);
                    opts.setPreserveSignature(true);

                    MapiMessage msg = MapiMessage.fromMailMessage(eml, opts);

@nicq.chen,

The PreserveOriginalAddresses method had been introduced to preserve special characters in the email address. The above address format you have shared is Exchange Server format and is part of email addresses in some cases. We need your sample input file for further looking into this behaviour of the API. As requested earlier, please share your sample PST file with us along with the code sample you are trying at your end and the expected behaviour. This will help us investigate the issue for assisting you further.

 If the full license version has any limitation on the number of emails that can be extracted from a PST file or is it unlimited?
      Is there any limitation of the size of the PST file that can be processed?
      If there is any limitation in the number of attachments in the email that can be extracted in the full license version?

As mentioned in the evaluation limitations section of the article, the only limitations on working with PST files is that only 50 emails can be extracted.
