When using Aspose.Email for .NET 3.2.0 we have discovered that sent and received date/times for EML emails are returned as the current date/time (ie. DateTime.Now) if the date/times in the EML file do not include a UTC offset.
For example, in the attached EML file, the sent date is “Thu, 21 May 2009 15:30:26”, but it is returned as 2013-08-05 12:28:00 when calling the following code:
mapiMessage.GetPropertyDateTime(Aspose.Email.Outlook.MapiPropertyTag.PR_CLIENT_SUBMIT_TIME);
Thanks

Hi Reuben,
We have investigated this issue and found that Format of date in the sample file does not correspond to RFC2822. For loading message, please use the method Load(…) with parameter FileCompatibilityMode.SkipValidityChecking.
string fileName = Path.Combine(TestUtil.GetTestPath(), “Dates+without+UTC+offset.eml”);
MailMessage mail = MailMessage.Load(fileName,FileCompatibilityMode.SkipValidityChecking);
MapiMessage mapi = MapiMessage.FromMailMessage(mail);
DateTime? date = (mapi.GetPropertyDateTime(MapiPropertyTag.PR_CLIENT_SUBMIT_TIME));
string fileName = Path.Combine(TestUtil.GetTestPath(), “Dates+without+UTC+offset.eml”);
MailMessage mail = MailMessage.Load(fileName,FileCompatibilityMode.SkipValidityChecking);
MapiMessage mapi = MapiMessage.FromMailMessage(mail);
DateTime? date = (mapi.GetPropertyDateTime(MapiPropertyTag.PR_CLIENT_SUBMIT_TIME));
