Hi Everyone,

Is there any way or smart service to generate the .MSG file whenever receive an email to Appian . We know, there is smart service eml and msg conversation plugin but would like to do it in one step and don't want to dependent on the too many third-party plugins. Also once generated the .MSG ,need to read and  display in the UI screen . Please let mw know, Any implementation around it.

Hi [mention:16cf6901ebc54aaaa636046bc5ec9375:e9ed411860ed4f2ba0265705b8793d05] ,

When an email is received in Appian, particularly through events like the Receive Message Event, it is often processed as an .EML file.

To create a .MSG file, a conversion is necessary. Achieving .EML to .MSG conversion or directly creating a .MSG file generally requires plugins. 
I have attached the links of the plugins which might be useful.
