EWS API 2.0 throws "TimeZoneConversionException" when trying to save MIMEContent of email item

I am trying to save an email from my mailbox .eml file (as a byte array into a SQL database).

However when running the following line of code, a 'TimeZoneConversionException' is thrown.

email.Load(new PropertySet(ItemSchema.MimeContent))

I can bind to the email and save attachments/subject/body etc but when trying to use the MIMEContent to save the email, I get the exception.Online searching shows it may be due to the DST settings on the server, but all DST updates have been installed on the server, and the email is a new one I create each time for testing.

The date in question is: "Unable to convert 2009-01-01T00:00:00.000 from (UTC+08:00) Perth to UTC.

The exception detail is:

Microsoft.Exchange.WebServices.Data.TimeZoneConversionException was unhandled by user code
