My friend ask me about this if this is possible and i said yes it is possible to read an unread email using IMAP then it's up to you if you want to save the mail in your Database or you just want to read it. This simple sample program uses VB.net, .net framework 4 and chilkat imap.dll for .net 4 . If you want to use C#, just visit  http://converter.telerik.com/ for easy conversion. But not all conversions are correct especially on syntax so its better for you to convert it manually anyway syntax are all on the web. Just learn to use google but if you can't do that, then just leave a comment so that i can convert the codes for you. Dont forget to leave a comment after download. Thank you :) 

This is for those beginners who want to learn programming using Csharp (C#) language. If you have knowledge in desktop programming using vb.net then it is an advantage to you. The logic of programming is important and the only difference between c# and vb.net for me is only the syntax. Just learn to love programming. 

I hope this simple sample program of mine will help you with your dream to become a computer programmer. This simple phonebook system has the basic functions like add,update,delete and search. The database used for this is MySql and uses infragistics, and mysql data 6.4. Download and leave a comment if you want. Thank you.
