Steps:
1 Choose one message in your inbox
2 Save it as msg file to one sample folder
3 Save it again in second sample folder
4 Compare thouse files by content or by checksum (SHA-1 for example)
These two msg files are differ.
Why it so?
Are there any workarounds for it. What can I do if I need get two same msg
files?

In addition: I checked message files exported from Outlook Express - they
are same by content and checksum.

Thanks.

when you move an item Extended MAPI gives it a new message id - that is
probably causing the discrepancy.

Hi Diane,
Thanks for your post.
Do you have any workarounds for it? How to get same msg files on export?
Thanks.

You need to Move, not export.

If I need to export one message to filesystem in two different folders and
need to get in result two exact same files in my filesystem, is it possible?

I don't think so, but check with the programmers in the program_vba group on
this server.
