I fetched emails from servers by using IMAP or POP3 and entered the fetched emails to database but I noticed there are a lot of bounced emails entered to the system so I searched a lot on google to check fetched email and if it's bounced email I'll not enter it to the system and I found library BounceDetectResult to detect if email is bounced or not but this library working only with message type MimeMessage so It's useful when I use IMAP but it's not work with message type OpenPop.Mime.Message so I can't use It when I use POP3
var result= BounceDetectorMail.Detect(message);//message type MimeMessage
if (result.IsBounce)
{
em.DelivaryFailure = true;
}
so my problem I didn't find way to detect if my retrieved message is bounced or not when I use pop3 in retrieving
It looks like the MailBounceDetector library that you mentioned uses my MimeKit library to detect if a message is a bounced message or not.
The good news is that you can use that library because I also have a library that does POP3 called MailKit, so you can use that instead of OpenPOP.NET.
For any who may need, from Bounce inspector software library, supports both POP3 and IMAP:
// POP3 server information.
const string serverName = "myserver";
const string user = "name#domain.com";
const string password = "mytestpassword";
const int port = 995;
const SecurityMode securityMode = SecurityMode.Implicit;
// Create a new instance of the Pop3Client class.
Pop3Client client = new Pop3Client();
Console.WriteLine("Connecting Pop3 server: {0}:{1}...", serverName, port);
// Connect to the server.
client.Connect(serverName, port, securityMode);
// Login to the server.
Console.WriteLine("Logging in as {0}...", user);
client.Authenticate(user, password);
// Initialize BounceInspector.
BounceInspector inspector = new BounceInspector();
inspector.AllowInboxDelete = false; // true if you want BounceInspector automatically delete all hard bounces.
// Register processed event handler.
inspector.Processed += inspector_Processed;
// Download messages from Pop3 Inbox to 'c:\test' and process them.
BounceResultCollection result = inspector.ProcessMessages(client, "c:\\test");
// Display processed emails.
foreach (BounceResult r in result)
{
// If this message was identified as a bounced email message.
if (r.Identified)
{
// Print out the result
Console.Write("FileName: {0}\nSubject: {1}\nAddress: {2}\nBounce Category: {3}\nBounce Type: {4}\nDeleted: {5}\nDSN Action: {6}\nDSN Diagnostic Code: {7}\n\n",
System.IO.Path.GetFileName(r.FilePath),
r.MailMessage.Subject,
r.Addresses[0],
r.BounceCategory.Name,
r.BounceType.Name,
r.FileDeleted,
r.Dsn.Action,
r.Dsn.DiagnosticCode);
}
}
Console.WriteLine("{0} bounced message found", result.BounceCount);
// Disconnect.
Console.WriteLine("Disconnecting...");
client.Disconnect();
I have a need to find a particular email on a Google IMAP server and then save the attachments from the email. I think I have it all figured out except for the part of determining what the file name is of the attachment.
Below is my code so far, I am hoping that someone can point me in the right direction to determine the file name.
I have Googled and SO'd but have not been able to find something using the attachment approach.
internal class MailKitHelper
{
private void SaveAttachementsForMessage(string aMessageId)
{
ImapClient imapClient = new ImapClient();
imapClient.Connect("imap.google.com", 993, SecureSocketOptions.Auto);
imapClient.Authenticate("xxxx", "xxxx");
HeaderSearchQuery searchCondition = SearchQuery.HeaderContains("Message-Id", aMessageId);
imapClient.Inbox.Open(FolderAccess.ReadOnly);
IList<UniqueId> ids = imapClient.Inbox.Search(searchCondition);
foreach (UniqueId uniqueId in ids)
{
MimeMessage message = imapClient.Inbox.GetMessage(uniqueId);
foreach (MimeEntity attachment in message.Attachments)
{
attachment.WriteTo("WhatIsTheFileName"); //How do I determine the file name
}
}
}
}
And the winner is.....
attachment.ContentDisposition.FileName
I'm reading emails using Imap. My code, which is working, is as follows:
Client.ConnectSsl(mailServer, port);
Mailbox mails = Client.SelectMailbox("inbox");
MessageCollection messages = mails.SearchParse("UNSEEN");
return messages;
But I want to get one email at a time instead of getting all the messages as a MessageCollection. I don't want to loop through MessageCollection either. Is there any method which returns only one message?
For example :
Message email = mails.Search("UNSEEN");
Thank you.
You can Find the below solution
Imap4Client imap = new Imap4Client();
imap.ConnectSsl("imap.gmail.com", 993);
imap.Login("abc#gmail.com", "thatsmypassword");
imap.Command("capability");
Mailbox inbox = imap.SelectMailbox("inbox");
int[] ids = inbox.Search("UNSEEN");
if (ids.Length > 0)
{
Message msg_first = inbox.Fetch.MessageObject(ids[0]);
}
Thanks,
Gauttam
I see lot of examples on how to send email with a but I'm looking to run an action checking an email account.
Does anyone know if that can be done (im sure it can) and point me to some examples?
There are a couple of ways you can get a gmail inbox.
OpenPop
If you do want to just use POP, and you do not mind using external libraries, this looks like the best/easiest way to go. OpenPop allows you to access a secure/unsecure email account and lets you choose the port. See this post to get started.
OpenPop is an open source C#.NET code bundle that implements mail
fetching and parsing. As of this writing, it only uses Microsoft .NET
framework libraries to do the required. But for accessing secure pop
servers, openPop can be extended by using some SSL library.
For example, to access Gmail via Pop:
POPClient poppy = new POPClient();
poppy.Connect("pop.gmail.com", 995, true);
poppy.Authenticate(username#gmail.com, "password");
int Count = poppy.GetMessageCount();
if (Count > 0)
{
for (int i = Count; i >= 1; i -= 1)
{
OpenPOP.MIMEParser.Message m = poppy.GetMessage(i, false);
//use the parsed mail in variable 'm'
}
}
TcpClient POP3:
To retrieve emails from any provider via Pop3, you could use a TcpClient. With Gmail, it is only slightly different, because Gmail uses SSL and port 995 for POP. There is an example of that here:
// create an instance of TcpClient
TcpClient tcpclient = new TcpClient();
// HOST NAME POP SERVER and gmail uses port number 995 for POP
tcpclient.Connect("pop.gmail.com", 995);
// This is Secure Stream // opened the connection between client and POP Server
System.Net.Security.SslStream sslstream = new SslStream(tcpclient.GetStream());
// authenticate as client
sslstream.AuthenticateAsClient("pop.gmail.com");
Gmail Atom Feed:
The first way is to use GmailAtomFeed, which is part of the C# .Net Gmail Tools. The website says:
The GmailAtomFeed class provides a simple object layer for
programmatic access to gmails atom feed. In just a couple lines of
code the feed will be retreived from gmail and parsed. After that the
entries can be accessed through an object layer
AtomFeedEntryCollection, plus access to the raw feed and the feeds
XmlDocument is also available.
And this is an example of how you use it:
// Create the object and get the feed
RC.Gmail.GmailAtomFeed gmailFeed = new RC.Gmail.GmailAtomFeed("username", "password");
gmailFeed.GetFeed();
// Access the feeds XmlDocument
XmlDocument myXml = gmailFeed.FeedXml
// Access the raw feed as a string
string feedString = gmailFeed.RawFeed
// Access the feed through the object
string feedTitle = gmailFeed.Title;
string feedTagline = gmailFeed.Message;
DateTime feedModified = gmailFeed.Modified;
//Get the entries
for(int i = 0; i < gmailFeed.FeedEntries.Count; i++) {
entryAuthorName = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].FromName;
entryAuthorEmail = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].FromEmail;
entryTitle = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].Subject;
entrySummary = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].Summary;
entryIssuedDate = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].Received;
entryId = gmailFeed.FeedEntries[i].Id;
}
IMAP
Another way, if you are not LIMITED to POP, is to use IMAP. With IMAP, you can connect to a SSL server and choose a port along with that:
using (Imap imap = new Imap())
{
imap.ConnectSSL("imap.gmail.com", 993);
imap.Login("angel_y#company.com", "xyx***"); // MailID As Username and Password
imap.SelectInbox();
List<long> 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);
}
I found this code online but "POP3_Client" isn't recognized and I don't see any refrences to add it
POP3_Client Mailbox = new POP3_Client(new >>>>IntegratedSocket<<<<<("pop.yourisp.com", 110), "yourusername", "yourpassword");
Mailbox.Connect();
Debug.Print("Message count: " + Mailbox.MessageCount.ToString());
Debug.Print("Box size in bytes: " + Mailbox.BoxSize.ToString());
uint[] Id, Size;
Mailbox.ListMails(out Id, out Size);
for (int Index = 0; Index < Id.Length; ++Index)
{
string[] Headers = Mailbox.FetchHeaders(Id[Index], new string[] { "subject", "from", "date" });
Debug.Print("Mail ID " + Id[Index].ToString() + " is " + Size[Index].ToString() + " bytes");
Debug.Print("Subject: " + Headers[0]);
Debug.Print("From: " + Headers[1]);
Debug.Print("Date: " + Headers[2]);
Debug.Print("======================================================================");
}
Mailbox.Close();

Does anyone have any sample code in that makes use of the .Net framework that connects to googlemail servers via IMAP SSL to check for new emails?
I'd recommend looking at MailKit as it is probably the most robust mail library out there and it's Open Source (MIT).
One of the awesome things about MailKit is that all network APIs are cancelable (something I haven't seen available in any other IMAP library).
It's also the only library that I know of that supports threading of messages.
using System;
using System.Net;
using System.Threading;
using MailKit.Net.Imap;
using MailKit.Search;
using MailKit;
using MimeKit;
namespace TestClient {
class Program
{
public static void Main (string[] args)
{
using (var client = new ImapClient ()) {
using (var cancel = new CancellationTokenSource ()) {
client.Connect ("imap.gmail.com", 993, true, cancel.Token);
// If you want to disable an authentication mechanism,
// you can do so by removing the mechanism like this:
client.AuthenticationMechanisms.Remove ("XOAUTH");
client.Authenticate ("joey", "password", cancel.Token);
// The Inbox folder is always available...
var inbox = client.Inbox;
inbox.Open (FolderAccess.ReadOnly, cancel.Token);
Console.WriteLine ("Total messages: {0}", inbox.Count);
Console.WriteLine ("Recent messages: {0}", inbox.Recent);
// download each message based on the message index
for (int i = 0; i < inbox.Count; i++) {
var message = inbox.GetMessage (i, cancel.Token);
Console.WriteLine ("Subject: {0}", message.Subject);
}
// let's try searching for some messages...
var query = SearchQuery.DeliveredAfter (DateTime.Parse ("2013-01-12"))
.And (SearchQuery.SubjectContains ("MailKit"))
.And (SearchQuery.Seen);
foreach (var uid in inbox.Search (query, cancel.Token)) {
var message = inbox.GetMessage (uid, cancel.Token);
Console.WriteLine ("[match] {0}: {1}", uid, message.Subject);
}
client.Disconnect (true, cancel.Token);
}
}
}
}
}

As the author of the above project i can say that yes it does support SSL.
I am currently working on a new version of the library that will be completely asynchronous to increase the speed with which it can interact with IMAP servers.
That code, while not complete, can be downloaded, along with the original synchronous library (which also supports SSL), from the code plex site linked to above.
Cross posted from the other similar question. See what happens when they get so similar?
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.
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();
I'm not affiliated with this library or anything, but I've found it very fast and stable.
Lumisoft.net has both IMAP client and server code that you can use.
I've used it to download email from Gmail. The object model isn't the best, but it is workable, and seems to be rather flexible and stable.
Here is the partial result of my spike to use it. It fetches the first 10 headers with envelopes, and then fetches the full message:
using (var client = new IMAP_Client())
{
client.Connect(_hostname, _port, _useSsl);
client.Authenticate(_username, _password);
client.SelectFolder("INBOX");
var sequence = new IMAP_SequenceSet();
sequence.Parse("0:10");
var fetchItems = client.FetchMessages(sequence, IMAP_FetchItem_Flags.Envelope | IMAP_FetchItlags.UID,
false, true);
foreach (var fetchItem in fetchItems)
{
Console.Out.WriteLine("message.UID = {0}", fetchItem.UID);
Console.Out.WriteLine("message.Envelope.From = {0}", fetchItem.Envelope.From);
Console.Out.WriteLine("message.Envelope.To = {0}", fetchItem.Envelope.To);
Console.Out.WriteLine("message.Envelope.Subject = {0}", fetchItem.Envelope.Subject);
Console.Out.WriteLine("message.Envelope.MessageID = {0}", fetchItem.Envelope.MessageID);
}
Console.Out.WriteLine("Fetching bodies");
foreach (var fetchItem in client.FetchMessages(sequence, IMAP_FetchItem_Flags.All, false, true)
{
var email = LumiSoft.Net.Mail.Mail_Message.ParseFromByte(fetchItem.MessageData);
Console.Out.WriteLine("email.BodyText = {0}", email.BodyText);
}
}
There is no .NET framework support for IMAP. You'll need to use some 3rd party component.
Try Mail.dll email component, 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<long> uids = imap.Search(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.Text);
}
imap.Close(true);
}

LumiSoft.ee - works great, fairly easy. Compiles with .NET 4.0.
Here are the required links to their lib and examples.

I am putting a SIMPLE sample up using their lib on codeplex (IMAPClientLumiSoft.codeplex.com). You must get their libraries directly from their site. I am not including them because I don't maintain their code nor do I have any rights to the code. Go to the links above and download it directly. I set LumiSoft project properties in my VS2010 to build all of it in .NET 4.0 which it did with no errors.
Their samples are fairly complex and maybe even overly tight coding when just an example. Although I expect that these are aimed at advanced level developers in general.
Their project worked with minor tweaks. The tweaks: Their IMAP Client Winform example is set in the project properties as "Release" which prevents VS from breaking on debug points. You must use the solution "Configuration Manager" to set the project to "Active(Debug)" for breakpoints to work. Their examples use anonymous methods for event handlers which is great tight coding... not real good as a teaching tool. My project uses "named" event method handlers so you can set breakpoints inside the handlers. However theirs is an excellent way to handle inline code. They might have used the newer Lambda methods available since .NET 3.0 but did not and I didn't try to convert them.
From their samples I simplified the IMAP client to bare minimum.
