title: Unable to load MimeContent via EWS in Exchange Server 2013
body: <p>I have a problem with loading MimeContent property using EWS with Exchange Server 2013. Here's what I do:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var propertySet = new PropertySet{
              ItemSchema.Subject,
              ItemSchema.TextBody,
              ItemSchema.DateTimeCreated,
              ItemSchema.LastModifiedTime
          };
  
  var item = Item.Bind(mailbox.ExchangeServiceInstance, itemId, propertySet);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Mailbox, permissions, PullSubscription &amp; ExchangeService are setup and working, 'itemId' is the correct, existing one. This code works and I'm able to access the loaded properties.</p>
  
  <p>But when I try to load MimeContent right after it, I get an error:</p>
  
  <pre><code>var binaries = new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly, ItemSchema.MimeContent);
  item.Load(binaries);
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>The exception I get is:</p>
  
  <blockquote>
    <p>'Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.ServiceResponseException'
    occurred in Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.dll</p>
    
    <p>A referenced period is missing.</p>
  </blockquote>
  
  <p>I couldn't google-find any similar issues with this exception related to EWS, or any similar problems with loading MimeContent. I keep trying to figure it out myself, but can anyone give me a hint where to dig?</p>
