Get Mailbox Information in C#, VB.NET

This article illustrates how to get mailbox information such as the number of messages, the size of mailbox and the unique id of a specific message using Spire.Email component.

Detail steps:

Step 1: Create a pop3 client.

Pop3Client pop = new Pop3Client();

Step 2: Set host, authentication, port and connection protocol.

pop.Host = "outlook.office365.com";
pop.Username = "LeonDavisLD@outlook.com";
pop.Password = "password";
pop.Port = 995;
pop.EnableSsl = true;

Step 3: Connect the pop server.

pop.Connect();

Step 4: Get information of mailbox.

//Get the number of messages
Console.WriteLine("Mailbox message count: " + pop.GetMessageCount());
            
//Get the size of mailbox
Console.WriteLine("Mailbox size: " + pop.GetSize() + " bytes");

//Get the unique id of the first message
Console.WriteLine("Message uid: " + pop.GetMessagesUid(1));
