I used the suggestion of Falah Abu Hassan and it worked very well for my requirements for receiving mails via IMAP!

How to get the IMAPX.DLL

The Github Repository for imapx is found here: https://github.com/azanov/imapx

Unfortunably you have to compile it yourself with "Visual Studio" to get the imapx.dll.

Creation of an sample Powershell Script

The Script and the DLL should be placed side and can integrated with this:

$path = Split-path $script:MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile(“$path\imapx.dll”)

The following example script, inspired by the answer from Falah Abu Hassan worked very well for me:

$path = Split-path $script:MyInvocation.MyCommand.Path

[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile(“$path\imapx.dll”)

### Create a client object
$client = New-Object ImapX.ImapClient

$client.Behavior.MessageFetchMode = "Full"
$client.Host = "Servername"
$client.Port = 993
$client.UseSsl = $true
$client.IsDebug = $true
$client.ValidateServerCertificate = $true
$client.Connect()

$user = "login@domain"
$pass = 'password'


$client.Login($user, $pass)

$messages = $client.Folders.Inbox.Search("ALL", $client.Behavior.MessageFetchMode, 100)

write-host "Count found: $($messages.count)"

foreach($m in $messages){
    write-host "Processing Subject: $($m.Subject)"
}
