Case-sensitive Email Filtering & Moving Emails Messages on Exchange Server Using .NET

What's New in this Release?

We are pleased to announce the release of Aspose.Email for .NET 4.7.0. This release includes some important enhancements such as Case-sensitive email filtering in email clients, setting timezone on Exchange task, Improved rendering options to MHTML, move items on Exchange Server, Provision of body compression, creating TNEF MailMessage from MapiMessage and severla bug fixes as well. The API’s email clients – IMAP, POP3 and EWS – already provide the capability to retrieve emails from servers based on filter criteria. This feature has been further improved by case-sensitive filtering for all these clients. The Exchange Web Service (EWS) client offered by Aspose.Email provides the capability of working with Exchange tasks. This month’s release further improves this functionality by specifying the time zone for the client as well as the Exchange task. Aspose.Email can render emails to MHTML format. This month’s release further improves this functionality by providing the capability of writing the To, From, CC and BCC fields to the output. This enables developers to control the output as per requirements during conversion of email messages to MHTML. This month’s release brings further improvements to the functionality of moving email messages from one folder to another folder. The earlier versions of the Aspose.Email API required users to manually write the exact destination folder URI for such purpose. Now, this operation requires only the source message URI and destination folder URI statement. Aspose.Email now makes it possible to reduce the message size by using RTF body compression. This allows developers to create a smaller size PST, though at the cost of speed. If speed is desired, then set the UseBodyCompression property to false to turn compression off. Outlook MSG files sometimes contain information such as tables and text styles that may get disturbed when converted to EML. Creating TNEF messages from such MSG files allows developers to retain the formatting and even sending such messages via the email clients. The InterpretAsTnef property is used to achieve this. This month’s release also fixes a number of bugs that were reported with our last month’s version. Fixing these further improves the overall functionality of the API.  The main bug fixes, new & improved features added in this release are listed below

• This feature would allow to create TNEF MailMessage from MapiMessage and send messages by mail clients
• ExchangeClient: Improvement in MoveItem method
• Add case-sensitive filtering for Imap client.

What’s new in this release?

We are pleased to announce the new release of Aspose.Diagram for .NET 4.5.0. This release brings a number of fixes and enhancements that also improve performance of the API. A connection point on a shape can be used to connect with other shapes. After the manipulation of a Visio shapes, we were not able to move sub shapes along with connection points. It is now fixed. Similarly, there is a list of other defects, those we have fixed in this release. The problem was that a few customers reported Visio file samples which they exported to PDF or thumbnail formats. The API was bringing whitespace under or besides the actual figure. In this release, we have fixed most of these types of issues. During the export of Visio files to PDF or HTML formats, the Aspose.Diagram API was placing a few additional shapes like moustache, half circle and half circle with black color fill. It was the case with few sample Visio drawings. There was no presence of these shapes in the source Visio drawings. This new version brings fixes to reported error messages and includes various other enhancements. some of the bug fixes are Error in elements when loading VSD drawing, ArgumenetException when saving to the JPG format after SetWidth method call, Input string format error when converting VDX drawing in PDF format, Error in element VisioDocument when loading a VSD diagram and more. This release also increases the layout perfections when rendering the Visio diagram to various other supported formats. These perfections were fruitful in calculating the accurate height / width of the page or shape of the Visio drawings. There have been a few numbers of defects already reported. Here is the list of important bugs fixes in the new version.

• VSD to PDF conversion, a big space before the actual drawing
• The sub shape connectors do not move along with their source points
