How to Convert EML Messages to ICS Format
Converting EML messages to ICS (iCalendar) format can be beneficial for integrating email events or appointments into calendar applications. The ICS format is commonly used to store calendar data, making it easier to manage and transfer event information. By converting EML messages to ICS format, users can seamlessly import email-based events, meetings, or reminders into their calendar applications, ensuring better organization and synchronization of schedules across different platforms and devices.
Aspose.Email for Java is a powerful API that provides comprehensive functionality for working with email messages, contacts, calendars, and tasks in Java applications. To convert EML messages to ICS format, the library offers a MailMessage class to create an object representing an e-mail message. It allows to access message properties, such as subject, body, sender and recipients addreses, etc. With its methods, you can create, load and parse, modify, save emails, or perform other manipulations with them. The AlternateView class is used for creation and management of different views and formats for email messages, facilitating customization, embedding resources, and optimizing content presentation across various email clients.

Steps to Convert EML to ICS via Java
Java programmers can easily convert EML file to ICS in just a few lines of code.
- Use the MailMessage.load() method to load the EML file into a MailMessage object.
- Search for an alternate view within the loaded EML message that has a MediaType of “text/calendar”, which typically represents an ICS (iCalendar) file. Assign this view to an AlternateView object ‘icsView’.
System Requirements
Before running the Java conversion code, make sure that you have the following prerequisites.
- Microsoft Windows or a compatible OS with Java Runtime Environment for JSP/JSF Application and Desktop Applications.
- Get latest version of Aspose.Email for Java directly from Maven .

// Load the EML file
MailMessage eml = MailMessage.load("message.eml");
// Find the alternate view with MediaType "text/calendar" (ICS)
AlternateView icsView = eml.getAlternateViewContent("text/calendar");
// If an ICS view is found, save it to a file
if (icsView != null) {
try {
Files.write(Paths.get("appointment.ics"), icsView.getContentStream().readAllBytes());
} catch (IOException e) {

What is EML File Format?
EML file format represents email messages saved using Outlook and other relevant applications. Almost all emailing clients support this file format for its compliance with RFC-822 Internet Message Format Standard. Microsoft Outlook is the default software for opening EML message types. EML files can be used for saving to disc as well as sending out to recipients using communication protocols.
What is ICS File Format?
The ICS (iCalendar) file format is a widely used standard for storing and exchanging calendar and scheduling information, including events, tasks, appointments, and reminders. The ICS file format uses a human-readable text-based structure that contains details such as event title, description, location, start and end times, and participant information, allowing users to easily share and import calendar data across different platforms and applications.
