QUESTION
I used MailKit.Net.Imap to read email in my mail box.
Sometimes I get an exception like that I shared below
System.IO.IOException: Connection timed out ---> System.Net.Sockets.SocketException (110): Connection timed out at MailKit.Net.NetworkStream.Read(Byte[] buffer, Int32 offset, Int32 count) --- End of inner exception stack trace ---
Is there any suggistion to solve this problem?
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Feb-24 at 16:04You have 2 options:
- Increase the timeout using the
ImapClient.Timeout
property. (That said, 1 minute is less than the default timeout which is 2 minutes) - As Max points out in the comments below, properly handle exceptions and retry (which often will require reconnecting the
ImapClient
).
QUESTION
This code works for sending and receiving emails using IMAP and SMTP protocols but I now need to send and receive emails using EWS (Exchange Web Service) protocols just in case someone has disabled IMAP/SMTP services on their account. Can anyone tell me what I must change in order to do that?
...ANSWER
Answered 2022-Jan-17 at 20:22Exchange Web Service is an XML based web API, your existing code wont do you any good for sending an mail via EWS.
I have successfully used the client from https://independentsoft.de/exchangewebservices/index.html in the past.
QUESTION
I don't have much experience yet. I'm trying to filter rows which contain the input text. In order.. I use MailKit to receive incoming messages and put data from them in Grid
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Dec-10 at 14:06Your problem is caused by the fact that you fill the grid one row at time adding directly a row. In this way, the DataSource property is not set to anything and if you want to filter you need to loop over the rows one by one and remove the unwanted rows.
In alternative you could use the BindingList
where T is a custom class that you define in your code with only the properties that you want to be displayed in the grid. With this class defined you can create the instances to add to the List used in the BindingList constructor
So suppose to have a class like this

Mailkit.SearchQuery provides a very powerful search system for finding emails with various parameters. But I want to make a research getting the criteria from a simple text string, to give the user the capability to do complex search by his own.

QUESTION
I am having an issue moving mail out of the inbox to a subfolder on the mail server using the MailKit/MimeKit tools. Currently I can read email in either folder, as well as delete email from either folder. The mail server is microsoft exchange 365. I am not currently having any issue with any imap function using the Mozilla Thunderbird client. My code is as follows:
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Oct-06 at 22:34The problem is that once you open the dingle
folder, it closes the Inbox
folder. This is how IMAP works (it can only have 1 folder open at a time).
The solution is to not open the dingle
folder, just open the Inbox
folder.
The code should look like this:

If we have the UniqueId
to the mail we wish to move the attachment to via the usage of an ImapClient
, how exactly can we achieve this?
Thank you!

QUESTION
I actually had this working for .pdf
files and could not get it to work for .xls
.
Now I cannot seem to get ether to work. Note I have looked at all other post from jsteadfast and this is the code I came up with.
When I read the Message I have nothing in Attachments there are 2 files the body of the text in a .txt
file and the attachment which is in the .pdf
or .xls
file both are in message.BodyParts
.
I just want to save the attachments to a file share. This is a .NET worker service. Azure Active Directory. Mailbox is outlook.office365.com.
In my stream I get

I've trying to use Mailkit and OAuth to read a user's Gmail inbox, and have followed the sample code found in the Mailkit FAQ. For the record, here is the code I'm using...
Note that I'm currently storing the token in a file in the site's content root, just until I get this working. After that, I'll be implementing an Entity Framework IDataStore, so please don't be concerned about the security issue of the code shown here

Answered 2021-Jun-09 at 15:10Not sure if this is the right thing to do, but I solved this problem by setting the project type to Desktop Application, which doesn't require a redirect URI.
QUESTION
I'm building a prototype web site to show a client, and need to connect to Gmail to access emails. For simplicity (as this is a prototype) I am trying to connect using the email and password for a throwaway Gmail account I created. Full security will come later, when we (hopefullly) get the agreement for the full app.
I'm using Mailkit, and the code is as follows...
...ANSWER
Answered 2021-Jun-03 at 13:27Gmail has this security feature where it requires you to login first via a web browser on the machine before it will let you connect via IMAP.
You might be able to work around this by going to the gmail settings and creating a app-specific password for your app to use.
Also, MailKits FAQ has a section about what settings to change in order to allow “less secure apps” to authenticate. Not sure if you did those steps yet.
Can you also file a feature request for MailKit to add support for Gmail’s [WEBALERT …] response code? From a quick glance, I think that may be something MailKit could parse and emit an event for (not that it would help your app that much in this case, but maybe useful to have anyway?)
