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
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(); } } }
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
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(); } } }

Console.ReadKey() End Sub End Class End Namespace

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:

MailAddress addressFrom = new MailAddress("jack.du@e-iceblue.com", "Jack Du"); MailAddress addressTo = new MailAddress("susanwong32@outlook.com"); MailMessage message = new MailMessage(addressFrom, addressTo); 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.

This article illustrates how to create an email message with attachment and send it using Spire.Email component in C# and VB.NET.
Detail steps:
Step 1: Declare and assign three MailAddress objects.
MailAddress addressFrom = "Alice.yang@e-iceblue.com"; MailAddress addressTo = "leondavisld@outlook.com"; MailAddress adressCC = "Shawn_Smithhh@outlook.com";
Step 2: Create an email message.
MailMessage message = new MailMessage(addressFrom, addressTo);
Step 3: Set subject, text body and creation time for the message.
message.Subject = "Spire.Email Component"; message.BodyText = "Hi!\r\n"+ "Spire.Email for .NET is a professional .NET Email library specially designed for developers to create, read and manipulate emails on any .NET (C#, VB.NET, ASP.NET) platform."; message.Date = DateTime.Now;
Step 4: Add an attachment and the second receiver to cc.
message.Attachments.Add(new Attachment("Hydrangeas.jpg")); message.Cc.Add(adressCC.Address);
Step 5: Create a SmtpClient instance and send the email message.
SmtpClient smtp = new SmtpClient(); smtp.Host = "smtp.outlook.com"; smtp.ConnectionProtocols = ConnectionProtocols.Ssl; smtp.Username = addressFrom.Address; smtp.Password = "password"; smtp.Port = 587; smtp.SendOne(message);
