Hi Team,
I am building a tool using Aspose Email for python via .net.
I am unable to find a method that can extract mail body in plain text and bcc data.
Could someone please help me out with this?

Thanks…

@spidy007,
Welcome to our community! Thank you for the query. You can extract the mail body as the plain text and Bcc data from messages in a PST file as below:

PersonalStorage personalStorage = PersonalStorage.FromFile(pstFilePath);
FolderInfo folderInfo = personalStorage.RootFolder.GetSubFolder("Inbox");

MessageInfoCollection messageInfoCollection = folderInfo.GetContents();
foreach (MessageInfo messageInfo in messageInfoCollection)
{
    Console.WriteLine("======================= next message =======================");
    Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + messageInfo.Subject);

    MapiMessage mapiMessage = personalStorage.ExtractMessage(messageInfo);

    MailConversionOptions options = new MailConversionOptions(); // set your options
    MailMessage mailMessage = mapiMessage.ToMailMessage(options);

    Console.WriteLine("Bcc: " + mailMessage.Bcc);
    Console.WriteLine("Plain text:\r\n" + mailMessage.Body);
}

Hi Andrey
Thanks for replying. Found a way to get them on both Java and C++. However, I am unable to find the same for python. Could you please help here?

@spidy007,
Please take a look at the next code snippet for Python:

        messageInfoCollection = folderInfo.get_contents()

        for messageInfo in messageInfoCollection:
                print ("Subject: " + messageInfo.subject)

I searched whole of their repository on GitHub. Nothing seems to work. Currently, im able to extract sender name, recipient, subject, cc. In addition to these, I need to extract body, bcc and mail time in python which I am unable to.

Thanks…
