How to Get Mailbox Information

This tutorial illustrates how to obtain Mailbox information with a few lines of code in UltimateIMAP Component. The simplest way to obtain information about a specified mailbox is using the GetMailboxInfo method. You only need to pass the mailbox name to the method. It returns a Mailbox object containing information about the mailbox you have requested as shown in the following steps:

1. Create a new instance of the ImapClient class and call the Connect methods. The code looks similar to the following:
2. C#
   // Create a new instance of the ImapClient class.
   ImapClient client = new ImapClient();
   // Connect to the server.
   client.Connect("myserver");
   // Or you can specify the IMAP port with
   // client.Connect("myserver", 143);
   // Login to the server.
   client.Authenticate("user", "password");
   // Get information about the INBOX mailbox.
   Mailbox m = client.GetMailboxInfo("INBOX");
   Console.WriteLine("The number of recent messages: " + m.RecentMessages);
   Console.WriteLine("The number of new unseen messages messages: " + m.NewUnseenMessages);
   // Close the connection.
   client.Disconnect();
   VB.NET
   ' Create a new instance of the ImapClient class.
   Dim client As New ImapClient()
   ' Connect to the server.
   client.Connect("myserver")
   ' Or you can specify the IMAP port with
   ' client.Connect("myserver", 143);
   ' Login to the server.
   client.Authenticate("user", "password")
   ' Get information about the INBOX mailbox.
   Dim m As Mailbox = client.GetMailboxInfo("INBOX")
   Console.WriteLine("The number of recent messages: " & m.RecentMessages)
   Console.WriteLine("The number of new unseen messages messages: " & m.NewUnseenMessages)
   ' Close the connection.
   client.Disconnect()
