This repository contains an easy-to-use and well-documented .NET assembly for communicating with and receiving electronic mail from an Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP) server.
To use the library add the S22.Imap.dll assembly to your project references in Visual Studio. Here's a simple example that initializes a new instance of the ImapClient class and connects to Gmail's IMAP server:
using System;
using S22.Imap;
namespace Test {
class Program {
static void Main(string[] args) {
/* connect on port 993 using SSL */
using (ImapClient Client = new ImapClient("imap.gmail.com", 993, true))
{
Console.WriteLine("We are connected!");
}
}
}
}
Here are a couple of examples of how to use the library. Please also see the documentation for further details on using the classes and methods exposed by the S22.Imap namespace.
- Supports IMAP IDLE notifications
- Supports IMAP over SSL
- API designed to be very easy to use
- Allows selectively fetching parts of mail messages
- Inherently thread-safe
- Well documented with lots of example code
- Free to use in commercial and personal projects (MIT license)
