## Loading Email Messages
35-
36-
To export emails to the EML format, we first need to load the email messages from the source. Here's how you can do it:
20+
## Import Namespaces
3721

22+
To get started, import the necessary namespaces into your C# project:
3823
```csharp
3924
using Aspose.Email;
25+
using System;
26+
using System.IO;
27+
```
4028

29+
## Step 1: Load the Source Email Message
4130

42-
// Load the source email message
31+
First, load the source email message from a .msg file:
32+
```csharp
4333
string sourcePath = "path/to/source/email.msg";
4434
MailMessage email = MailMessage.Load(sourcePath);
4535
```

## Exporting Email to EML Format
48-
49-
Once you've loaded the email message, the next step is to export it to the EML format. This is done by simply creating an instance of the `MailMessage` class and setting its properties:
37+
## Step 2: Set Properties from the Loaded Email
5038

39+
Next, set properties from the loaded email message to a new EML message object:
5140
```csharp
52-
// Create a new instance of MailMessage
53-
MailMessage emlMessage = new MailMessage();
54-
55-
// Set properties from the loaded email
5641
emlMessage.Subject = email.Subject;
5742
emlMessage.From = email.From;
5843
emlMessage.To = email.To;
5944
emlMessage.Body = email.Body;
6045
// Set other properties as needed
61-
62-
// Exported email is now in the emlMessage object
63-
```
64-
65-
## Saving the EML Files
66-
67-
Once you've prepared the email message in the EML format, you can save it to a file. Ensure that you have the appropriate path for saving the files:
68-
69-
```csharp
70-
string outputPath = "path/to/output/eml.eml";
71-
emlMessage.Save(outputPath, SaveOptions.DefaultEml);
7246
```
7347

74-
## Handling Attachments
75-
76-
Email messages often include attachments that need to be exported along with the message. Here's how you can handle attachments using Aspose.Email:
48+
## Step 3: Handle Attachments
7749

50+
Iterate through attachments in the original email and add them to the new EML message:
7851
```csharp
7952
foreach (Attachment attachment in email.Attachments)
8053
{
8154
emlMessage.Attachments.Add(attachment);
8255
}
8356
```
8457

85-
## Adding Additional Email Metadata
86-
87-
You can also add additional metadata to the exported email using Aspose.Email. This includes headers, custom properties, and more:
58+
## Step 4: Add Additional Metadata
8859

60+
Include any additional metadata or custom headers to the EML message:
8961
```csharp
9062
emlMessage.Headers.Add("X-Custom-Header", "Custom Value");
91-
emlMessage.Headers.Add("Date", DateTime.Now.ToString("r"));
92-
// Add other headers and metadata as needed
9363
```
9464

## Error Handling
96-
97-
During the export process, it's important to handle potential errors to ensure a smooth user experience. Use try-catch blocks to handle exceptions:
98-
99-
```csharp
100-
try
101-
{
102-
// Export email and handle errors
103-
}
104-
catch (Exception ex)
105-
{
106-
// Handle the exception
107-
}
108-
```
