 Yes. MimeKit and MailKit are both completely free and open source. They are both covered under the

+
+In .NET Core, Microsoft decided to split out the non-Unicode text encodings into a separate NuGet package called
+[System.Text.Encoding.CodePages](https://www.nuget.org/packages/System.Text.Encoding.CodePages).
+
+MimeKit already pulls in a reference to this NuGet package, so you shsouldn't need to add a reference to it in
+your project. That said, you will still need to register the encoding provider. It is recommended that you add
+the following line of code to your program initialization (e.g. the beginning of your program's Main() method):
+
+```csharp
+System.Text.Encoding.RegisterProvider (System.Text.CodePagesEncodingProvider.Instance);
+```
