[2005] Reading email

[keon2005]

Does anyone here know how to do so. Seem to be tonnes of example on how to send but none of them is about reading email that is working properly.

I need to read the email from the mail server that is in my intranet from my application server. Any expert here know how to do that?

Goto

http://www.codeproject.com/KB/IP/NetPopMimeClient.aspx

At the very top of the article it says "Download Sourcecode"

Save the sourcode to your desktop or where ever

There is a folder within the zip file that is called NetPopMimeClient go in there, then go into the bin folder. You need to add Net.dll which is in that folder as a reference to your project then you can call any of the functions within it.


Example of usage.

Dim pop3 As Net.Mail.Pop3Client = New Net.Mail.Pop3Client("My hostname", "myusername", "mypassword")

I try using the link provide and has many errors in it, and i cant figure out how to debug it.
I decide to write my own but currently i cant figure out on how to download attachment into a local drive.
Anyone have a sample code on how to do so?

[keon2005]

I found out that i need to parse or convert the bytes and use system.io to create the attachment files. Anyone here know how to do so or have a sample codes? Really need some help here.

[jmcilhinney]

If you're saying that you have a Byte array that you need to turn into a file then you'd do so with a FileStream. Create one, call Write, close it.

[keon2005]

Yes, i read the mail from streamreader and the return is a bytes , below is file i read from there....


Content-type: application/vnd.excel;
name: "excel.xls"
Content-transfer-encoding: base64
content-description: excel.xls
content-disposition: attachment;
filename: "excel.xls"

"The bytes files here!!"

is there any sample code to do so?

[keon2005]

Hi everyone,

It is actually an excel file.
Anyone know how to write this using filestream or system.io to create the attachment back to the excel file i attached??

[obi1kenobi]

So simply use a StreamWriter to write the contents of the attachment back to an Excel (.xls) file. Look at the StreamWriter class for any additional info you may need, it's self-explanatory really.

[keon2005]

Hi everyone,

Thanks for the reply

I have figure out , that it need to be converted before writing to the file as below.

cha = attachfile.ToCharArray()
Data = Convert.FromBase64CharArray(cha, 0, cha.Length)

For Each by In Data
writeStream.WriteByte(by)
Next
