.NET how to retrieve list of emails from Gmail server with out third party

Question

I want to retrieve all my Gmail mails and show them in .NET 4.5 WPF application. i don't want to pay for any third party dll. Is there any thing build-in available in .NET 4.5 or later versions? Note: i am not worried about sending mail. All my requirement is to show all [read/Unread/New] mail in my app.

Answer 1

There is no .NET framework support for the IMAP or POP3 protocols you would use to do this. You would need to use a 3rd party DLL - there are free ones available. Or implement the protocol yourself using C# - I'm not going to attempt to provide sample code for that, though.
