I'm trying to read through a gmail account to get gps data that is being sent there ( in the text of a email) from an moble phone (my phone)
using (Pop3Client cl = new Pop3Client())
{
cl.UserName = "crash893";
cl.Password = "password";
cl.ServerName = "pop.gmail.com";
cl.AuthenticateMode = Pop3AuthenticateMode.Pop;
cl.Ssl = true;
cl.Authenticate();
///Get first mail of my mailbox
Pop3Message mg = cl.GetMessage(1); <<<<<<<<<< ERROR
String MyText = mg.BodyText;
///If the message have one attachment
Pop3Content ct = mg.Contents[0];
///you can save it to local disk
ct.DecodeData("c:\\test.txt");
}
but I get a exception on the "get first mail of mailbox message
"Higuchi.Net.Pop3.Pop3ConnectException: Pop3 connection is closed
at Higuchi.Net.Pop3.Pop3Client.SendCommand(String inCommand)
at Higuchi.Net.Pop3.Pop3Client.Execute(String inCommand, Boolean inIsMultiLine)
at Higuchi.Net.Pop3.Pop3Client.Execute(Pop3Command inCommand)
at Higuchi.Net.Pop3.Pop3Client.GetMessage(Int64 inMailIndex)"}
Ideally what i would like to do is open this read all the new unread emails in this account for a certain subject line then read the data in the body and mark them as read
does anyone know why its erroring out
does anyone have any experince with c#mail that hey could point me in the right direction for reading and makring emails as read etc
using (Pop3Client cl = new Pop3Client())
{
cl.UserName = "ewgsdssw";
cl.Password = "sdgwsegw";
cl.ServerName = "pop.gmail.com";
cl.AuthenticateMode = Pop3AuthenticateMode.Pop;
cl.Port = 995;
cl.Ssl = true;
cl.Authenticate();
///Get first mail of my mailbox
///
int total = Convert.ToInt16(cl.GetTotalMessageCount());
while (total >= 1)
{
Pop3Message mg = cl.GetMessage(total);
if (mg.Subject == "I am Here")
{
// http://maps.google.com/maps?q=38.89552,-77.43265
//(+/- 76 metres.)
string location = mg.BodyText;
location = location.Replace("http://maps.google.com/maps?q=","~");
location = location.Replace("metres.)\r\n\r\n","~");
location = location.Split('~')[1];
location = location.Replace("(+/- ", ",");
location = location.Replace("\r\n", "");
string[] data = location.Split(',');
string lat = data[0];
string lon = data[1];
string res = data[2];
DateTime time = mg.Date;
textBox1.AppendText(string.Format("Lat: {0} LON: {1} Res: {2} TIME: {3}\r\n",lat,lon,res,time.ToString()));
}
total--;
}
}
It is not possible to mark emails as read using the POP protocol.
Try using IMAP.
cl.Port = 995;
I do not have experience with C#Mail, and this answer may not help, but I've experienced weirdness in the past while trying to write email send/receive related code.
Turned out the antivirus software we were running at work had a whitelist of allowed .EXE's that could make in/outbound POP3 or SMTP connections. Any chance this is your problem?
