Answer 1

I found GMailAtomFeed

  // 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; }

Use aenetmail IMAP client: github . I think this is the best alternative to GMailAtomFeed, because you can get all the email text, and it has many other features.

Here is an example:

 using (var ic = new AE.Net.Mail.ImapClient("imap.gmail.com", "email", "pass", AE.Net.Mail.AuthMethods.Login, 993, true)) { ic.SelectMailbox("INBOX"); MailMessage[] mm = ic.GetMessages(0, 10); // at this point you can download the messages }
