How to read Gmail Inox unread mail

Hi,

You can try this

using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using ActiveUp.Net.Mail;
namespace GmailReadImapEmail
{
public class MailRepository
{
private Imap4Client client;
public MailRepository(string mailServer, int port, bool ssl, string login, string password)
{
if (ssl)
Client.ConnectSsl(mailServer, port);
else
Client.Connect(mailServer, port);
Client.Login(login, password);
}
public IEnumerable GetAllMails(string mailBox)
{
return GetMails(mailBox, "ALL").Cast();
}
public IEnumerable GetUnreadMails(string mailBox)
{
return GetMails(mailBox, "UNSEEN").Cast();
}
protected Imap4Client Client
{
get { return client ?? (client = new Imap4Client()); }
}
private MessageCollection GetMails(string mailBox, string searchPhrase)
{
Mailbox mails = Client.SelectMailbox(mailBox);
MessageCollection messages = mails.SearchParse(searchPhrase);
return messages;
}
}
}

How to Use :

var mailRepository = new MailRepository("imap.gmail.com", 993, true, "[email protected]", "YOURPASSWORDHERE");
var allEmails = mailRepository.GetAllMails();
foreach(var email in allEmails)
{
Console.WriteLine(email);
}

Note : In order for this to work, you need to enable "Less secure apps" with your gmail account, if that is an option for you. I did that, and now the code works.
