This article demonstrates how to extract the attachment from an email message and delete the attachment via Spire.Email in C# and VB.NET. Spire.Email supports to work with MSG, EML, EMLX, MHTML, PST, OST and TNEF email file formats. On this article we use .msg message format for example.
Firstly, please view the sample email message with attachments:
How to extract the attachment from an Email message:
[C#]
using Spire.Email;
using System.IO;
namespace ExtractAttachment
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Load the mail message from file
MailMessage mail = MailMessage.Load("Test.msg");
//Create a folder named Attachments
if (!Directory.Exists("Attachments"))
{
Directory.CreateDirectory("Attachments");
}
foreach (Attachment attach in mail.Attachments)
{
//To get and save the attachment
string filePath = string.Format("Attachments\\{0}", attach.ContentType.Name);
if (File.Exists(filePath))
{
File.Delete(filePath);
}
FileStream fs = File.Create(filePath);
attach.Data.CopyTo(fs);
}
}
}
}
[VB.NET]
Imports Spire.Email
Imports System.IO
Namespace ExtractAttachment
Class Program
Private Shared Sub Main(args As String())
'Load the mail message from file
Dim mail As MailMessage = MailMessage.Load("Test.msg")
'Create a folder named Attachments
If Not Directory.Exists("Attachments") Then
Directory.CreateDirectory("Attachments")
End If
For Each attach As Attachment In mail.Attachments
'To get and save the attachment
Dim filePath As String = String.Format("Attachments\{0}", attach.ContentType.Name)
If File.Exists(filePath) Then
File.Delete(filePath)
End If
Dim fs As FileStream = File.Create(filePath)
attach.Data.CopyTo(fs)
Next
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
How to delete the attachment from an Email message:
[C#]
using Spire.Email;
namespace DeleteAttachment
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
MailMessage mail = MailMessage.Load("Test.msg");
// Delete the attachment by index
mail.Attachments.RemoveAt(0);
// Delete the attachment by attachment name
for (int i = 0; i < mail.Attachments.Count; i++)
{
Attachment attach = mail.Attachments[i];
if (attach.ContentType.Name == "logo.png")
{
mail.Attachments.Remove(attach);
}
}
mail.Save("HasDeletedAttachment.msg", MailMessageFormat.Msg);
}
}

Class Program
Private Shared Sub Main(args As String())
Dim mail As MailMessage = MailMessage.Load("Test.msg")
' Delete the attachment by index
mail.Attachments.RemoveAt(0)
' Delete the attachment by attachment name
For i As Integer = 0 To mail.Attachments.Count - 1
Dim attach As Attachment = mail.Attachments(i)
If attach.ContentType.Name = "logo.png" Then
mail.Attachments.Remove(attach)

Spire.Email allows receiving email messages with POP3 client and IMAP client. The following examples demonstrate how to retrieve an email using both POP3 and IMAP clients and save it to disk in C# and VB.NET.
Use POP3 client
[C#]
using Spire.Email;
using Spire.Email.Pop3;
using System;
using System.Globalization;
namespace ReceiveAndSaveEmailByUsingPOP3client
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create a POP3 client
Pop3Client pop = new Pop3Client();
//Set host, username, password etc. for the client
pop.Host = "outlook.office365.com";
pop.Username = "LeonDavisLD@outlook.com";
pop.Password = "password";
pop.Port = 995;
pop.EnableSsl = true;
//Connect the server
pop.Connect();
//Get the first message by its sequence number
MailMessage message = pop.GetMessage(1);
//Parse the message
Console.WriteLine("------------------ HEADERS ---------------");
Console.WriteLine("From : " + message.From.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("To : " + message.To.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Date : " + message.Date.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + message.Subject);
Console.WriteLine("------------------- BODY -----------------");
Console.WriteLine(message.BodyText);
Console.WriteLine("------------------- END ------------------");
//Save the message to disk using its subject as file name
message.Save(message.Subject + ".eml", MailMessageFormat.Eml);
Console.WriteLine("Message Saved.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
[VB.NET]
Imports Spire.Email
Imports Spire.Email.Pop3
Imports System.Globalization
Namespace ReceiveAndSaveEmailByUsingPOP3client
Class Program
Private Shared Sub Main(args As String())
'Create a POP3 client
Dim pop As New Pop3Client()
'Set host, username, password etc. for the client
pop.Host = "outlook.office365.com"
pop.Username = "LeonDavisLD@outlook.com"
pop.Password = "password"
pop.Port = 995
pop.EnableSsl = True
'Connect the server
pop.Connect()
'Get the first message by its sequence number
Dim message As MailMessage = pop.GetMessage(1)
'Parse the message
Console.WriteLine("------------------ HEADERS ---------------")
Console.WriteLine("From : " + message.From.ToString())
Console.WriteLine("To : " + message.[To].ToString())
Console.WriteLine("Date : " + message.[Date].ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture))
Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + message.Subject)
Console.WriteLine("------------------- BODY -----------------")
Console.WriteLine(message.BodyText)
Console.WriteLine("------------------- END ------------------")
'Save the message to disk using its subject as file name
message.Save(message.Subject + ".eml", MailMessageFormat.Eml)
Console.WriteLine("Message Saved.")
Console.ReadKey()
End Sub
End Class
End Namespace
Use IMAP client
[C#]
using Spire.Email;
using Spire.Email.IMap;
using System;
using System.Globalization;
namespace ReceiveAndSaveEmailByUsingIMAPclient
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
//Create an IMAP client
ImapClient imap = new ImapClient();
// Set host, username, password etc. for the client
imap.Host = "outlook.office365.com";
imap.Port = 143;
imap.Username = "LeonDavisLD@outlook.com";
imap.Password = "password";
imap.ConnectionProtocols = ConnectionProtocols.Ssl;
//Connect the server
imap.Connect();
//Select Inbox folder
imap.Select("Inbox");
//Get the first message by its sequence number
MailMessage message = imap.GetFullMessage(1);
//Parse the message
Console.WriteLine("------------------ HEADERS ---------------");
Console.WriteLine("From : " + message.From.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("To : " + message.To.ToString());
Console.WriteLine("Date : " + message.Date.ToString(CultureInfo.InvariantCulture));
Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + message.Subject);
Console.WriteLine("------------------- BODY -----------------");
Console.WriteLine(message.BodyText);
Console.WriteLine("------------------- END ------------------");
//Save the message to disk using its subject as file name
message.Save(message.Subject + ".eml", MailMessageFormat.Eml);
Console.WriteLine("Message Saved.");
Console.ReadKey();
}
}
}
[VB.NET]
Imports Spire.Email
Imports Spire.Email.IMap

Following code snippets demonstrate how to send an email with HTML body using Spire.Email in C# and VB.NET.
Step 1: Create an instance of MailMessage class and specify sender and recipient in its constructor.
MailAddress addressFrom = new MailAddress("jack.du@e-iceblue.com", "Jack Du");
MailAddress addressTo = new MailAddress("susanwong32@outlook.com");
MailMessage message = new MailMessage(addressFrom, addressTo);
Step 2: Set the creation date, subject and html body of the message.
message.Date = DateTime.Now;
message.Subject = "Sending Email with HTML Body";
string htmlString = @"<html>
<body>
<p>Dear Ms. Susan,</p>
<p>Thank you for your letter of yesterday inviting me to come for an interview on Friday afternoon, 5th July, at 2:30.
I shall be happy to be there as requested and will bring my diploma and other papers with me.</p>
<p>Sincerely,<br>-Jack</br></p>
</body>
</html>
";
message.BodyHtml = htmlString;
Step 3: Create a SmtpClient instance, set its properties, and send the email using SendOne() medthod.
SmtpClient client= new SmtpClient(); client.Host = "smtp.outlook.com"; client.Port = 587; client.Username = addressFrom.Address; client.Password = "password"; client.ConnectionProtocols = ConnectionProtocols.Ssl; client.SendOne(message);
Output:
