Hi I am looking for a code to retrieve mails and attachments from only inbox,i have done a lot of search on google, at last i found some code here , thanks to the author,but it retrieves all the mails from all the folders(Inbox,sent,trash..), can any one help here

the code follows here, can any one filter it.

C#

public List<Email> FetchEmailList(int start, int count)
        {
            List<Email> emails = new List<Email>(count);
            for (int i = start; i < (start + count); i++)
            {
                Email email = FetchEmail(i);
                if (email != null)
                    emails.Add(email);

"I want a code", okay so learn C# and write some code.

We've not seen the code, we don't know which are your problems, we won't use google for you to search for code... Improve your question and try it again.

Some times it's a good idea trying to get some background about what you're willing to do. For downloading e-mails from the server you use what is called e-mail protocol. Two of the most commonly used ones are POP3 and IMAP. With this in mind you can go and search for something like "pop3 client c#"[^]

The OpenPop.NET[^] library implements the protocol and also the MIME parser.

You will find something about IMAP (client) here: Simple IMAP CLIENT[^] and here: IMAP and POP3 Clients in C#[^].

Looking at those projects you'll get part of the background you need for it.

You should post your question in the forum at the end of the article so the author can see it.
