Read Gmail Inbox

Question

I want to read my Gmail Inbox by using Google.GData.Client.dll. How do I accomplish this? I would like a sample program.

Answer 1

Use aenetmail's IMAP client: github. I think it's a better alternative than GMailAtomFeed because you can retrieve the entire body of the emails and it has many many more options.

Here's an example:

using (var ic = new AE.Net.Mail.ImapClient("imap.gmail.com", "email", "pass", AE.Net.Mail.AuthMethods.Login, 993, true))
{
    ic.SelectMailbox("INBOX");
    MailMessage[] mm = ic.GetMessages(0, 10);
    // at this point you can download the messages
}
