Saving Email to a DMS - Microsoft Exchange

Either way will work fine doing it as a batch process should lessen the
performance impact of the code compared to an event sink if you are
processing a lot of messages. Advantage of an event sink is that its going
to be closer to real time.

What API really depends on where you want to run your code if you can run it
locally then CDOEX and Exoledb is not a bad choice if you want to run
remotely then WebDAV is a good option. If you want do anything with .msg
files then you need to use MAPI so you need to look at an interface such as
Exmapi,CDO 1.2 or the Outlook Object Model. Apart from the OOM these other
interfaces aren't supported in .NET .If you just want to use .eml then
WebDAV and CDOEX are fine.
