        using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            mail.Save(ms, new MsgSaveOptions(MailMessageSaveType.OutlookMessageFormat));
            var tmpfilename = "testemail.msg";
            File.WriteAllBytes(tmpfilename, ms.ToArray());
        }

When opening with outlook, the sent date is Mon 16/11/2020 06:24

Can you please try using option to set PreserveOriginalDates to True on your end using latest version.

MailMessage mail = MailMessage.Load("testemail.eml");
        using (var ms = new MemoryStream())
        {
            MsgSaveOptions options = new MsgSaveOptions(MailMessageSaveType.OutlookMessageFormat);
            options.PreserveOriginalDates = true;
            mail.Save(ms, options);
            var tmpfilename = "testemail.msg";
            File.WriteAllBytes(tmpfilename, ms.ToArray());
        }
