MimeKit
-
Looking for an open source email .Net API.
You can create mime (*.eml) files using MimeKit (https://github.com/jstedfast/MimeKit). These can be opened in Outlook the same as msg. If you need to send them you can use another library from the same author - MailKit.

Will .NET 5 or .NET 6 ever become native to windows?
Can confirm. When I wrote some benchmark tests for [MimeKit](https://github.com/jstedfast/MimeKit), I noticed something close to a 10% (IIRC) performance increase compared to .NET Framework (4.x). Needless to say, I was impressed.

Need help with mailkit

- EF Core is not MSSQL first. EF Core is an abstraction layer and is in no way tied to Sql Server. In fact, Microsoft's own getting started tutorial uses Sqlite (1). I've personally used the Postgres drivers in production and they are as good/production-ready as Microsoft's SQL library for EF Core.
- "Many libraries ship with two implementations..." I've yet to come across these "many" libraries in the 5 years since I've been building services with .NET Core.
"The community is really culty" - I'm not sure where this is coming from. It's hard to refute such vague criticisms.
