// The following example codes demonstrate retrieving email from IMAP4 server
// To get full sample projects, please download and install EAGetMail on your machine.
// To run it correctly, please change email server, user, password, folder, file name value to yours
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using System.IO;
// Add EAGetMail namespace
using EAGetMail;
namespace receiveemail
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Create a folder named "inbox" under current directory
// to save the email retrieved.
string curpath = Directory.GetCurrentDirectory();
string mailbox = String.Format("{0}\\inbox", curpath);
// If the folder is not existed, create it.
if (!Directory.Exists(mailbox))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory(mailbox);
}
MailServer oServer = new MailServer("imap.emailarchitect.net",
"test@emailarchitect.net", "testpassword", ServerProtocol.Imap4 );
MailClient oClient = new MailClient("TryIt");
// Set IMAP4 server port
oServer.Port = 143;
// If your IMAP server requires SSL connection,
// Please add the following codes:
// oServer.SSLConnection = true;
// oServer.Port = 993;
try
{
oClient.Connect(oServer);
MailInfo[] infos = oClient.GetMailInfos();
for (int i = 0; i < infos.Length; i++)
{
MailInfo info = infos[i];
Console.WriteLine("Index: {0}; Size: {1}; UIDL: {2}",
info.Index, info.Size, info.UIDL);
// Receive email from IMAP4 server
Mail oMail = oClient.GetMail(info);
Console.WriteLine("From: {0}", oMail.From.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Subject: {0}\r\n", oMail.Subject);
// Generate an email file name based on date time.
System.DateTime d = System.DateTime.Now;
System.Globalization.CultureInfo cur = new
System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US");
string sdate = d.ToString("yyyyMMddHHmmss", cur);
string fileName = String.Format("{0}\\{1}{2}{3}.eml",
mailbox, sdate, d.Millisecond.ToString("d3"), i);
// Save email to local disk
oMail.SaveAs(fileName, true);
// Mark email as deleted from IMAP4 server.
oClient.Delete(info);
}
// Quit and pure emails marked as deleted from IMAP4 server.
oClient.Quit();
