Currently I am using the MailItem.SaveAs(filePath) function, then using File.ReadAllBytes(filePath) to create a byte array that can be sent to the webservice.

Looking for a way to get byte[] without writing to disk

Hello Nevzat,

If you need the service to receive a .MSG, your only way is to use SaveAs(). If you need the service to receive some specific data from the email (such as subject, or part of the body, etc.), you can extract them in code and send them as is.
