Did you use the example on the main github page from this repository?

from msgkit.

Yes, I used the example provided

from msgkit.

You are sure that you closed the opened message?

Because the line below opens the message en then Windows locks it :)

// Show the message
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start(@"c:\test.msg");

I tried but can't seem to reproduce your problem. Try to dispose the email object before you open the e-mail and look if that fixes your problem.


using (var email = new Email(
	new Sender("[email protected]", "Peter Pan"),
	new Representing("[email protected]", "Tinkerbell"),
	"Hello Neverland subject"))
{

	email.Recipients.AddTo("[email protected]", "Captain Hook");
	email.Recipients.AddCc("[email protected]", "The evil ticking crocodile");
	email.Subject = "This is the subject";
	email.BodyText = "Hello Neverland text";
	email.BodyHtml = "<html><head></head><body><b>Hello Neverland html</b></body></html>";
	email.Importance = MessageImportance.IMPORTANCE_HIGH;
	email.IconIndex = MessageIconIndex.UnsentMail;
	email.Attachments.Add("Images\\peterpan.jpg");
	email.Attachments.Add("Images\\tinkerbell.jpg");
	email.Save("test.msg");
}
System.Diagnostics.Process.Start("test.msg");

from msgkit.

This is linked to the same problem I was having, hope you can replicate it by trying to delete/move 1 of the attachments after saving the msg, after the Email object is disposed...
