Hello @TejasA,

The issue you are encountering can be resolved by using the ignore_smtp_address_check property of the AppointmentLoadOptions class. This property allows the library to bypass strict validation of SMTP addresses in the .ics file.

Here’s an example code snippet to handle this:

from aspose.email.calendar import Appointment, AppointmentLoadOptions

# Create load options and set ignore_smtp_address_check to True
loadOptions = AppointmentLoadOptions()
loadOptions.ignore_smtp_address_check = True

# Load the appointment with the specified options
appointment = Appointment.load(f.file_directory, loadOptions)
