There is no  NET framework support for IMAP   You ll need to use some 3rd party component   Try https   www limilabs com mail   it s very affordable and easy to use  it also supports SSL   using Imap imap   new Imap          imap ConnectSSL  imap company com        imap Login  user    password         imap SelectInbox        List lt long gt  uids   imap SearchFlag Flag Unseen       foreach  long uid in uids                string eml   imap GetMessageByUID uid           IMail message   new MailBuilder                CreateFromEml eml            Console WriteLine message Subject           Console WriteLine message TextDataString             imap Close true       Please note that this is a commercial product I ve created   You can download it here  https   www limilabs com mail

In the hope that it will be useful to some  you may want to check out my go at it   S22 Imap  While there are a couple of good and well-documented IMAP libraries for  NET available  none of them are free for personal  let alone commercial use   and I was just not all that satisfied with the mostly abandoned free alternatives I found   S22 Imap supports IMAP IDLE notifications as well as SSL and partial message fetching  I have put some effort into producing documentation and keeping it up to date  because with the projects I found  documentation was often sparse or non-existent   Feel free to give it a try and let me know if you run into any issues

I ve been searching for an IMAP solution for a while now  and after trying quite a few  I m going with AE Net Mail   You can download the code by going to the Code tab and click the small  Download  icon  As the author does not provide any pre-built downloads  you must compile it yourself   I believe you can get it through NuGet though   There is no longer a  dll in the bin  folder   There is no documentation  which I consider a downside  but I was able to whip this up by looking at the source code  yay for open source   and using Intellisense  The below code connects specifically to Gmail s IMAP server      Connect to the IMAP server  The  true  parameter specifies to use SSL    which is important  for Gmail at least  ImapClient ic   new ImapClient  imap gmail com    name gmail com    pass                   ImapClient AuthMethods Login  993  true      Select a mailbox  Case-insensitive ic SelectMailbox  INBOX    Console WriteLine ic GetMessageCount        Get the first  11  messages  0 is the first message     and it also includes the 10th message  which is really the eleventh       MailMessage represents  well  a message in your mailbox MailMessage   mm   ic GetMessages 0  10   foreach  MailMessage m in mm        Console WriteLine m Subject        Probably wiser to use a using statement ic Dispose      Make sure you checkout the Github page for the newest version and some better code examples
