IMAP protocol sometimes calls folders mailboxes. It’s not very fortunate as mailbox usually means email address (john.smith@example.com) or account attached to an email address.<\/p>\n
You can use Mail.dll .NET IMAP component<\/a> to retrieve a list of all IMAP folders existing on the server, by using GetFolders <\/em>method. It returns a list of FolderInfo <\/em> objects. You can use this object to get a folder name (FolderInfo.Name<\/em>). You can also use FolderInfo <\/em> instance as a parameter for SelectFolderInfo()<\/em> method to access this folder.<\/p>\n FolderInfo object contains detailed information about the folder (Name, SeparatorChar, Flags)<\/p>\n You can read more about folder management using IMAP<\/a>.<\/p>\n\r\n\/\/ C# version:\r\n\r\nusing Limilabs.Mail;\r\nusing Limilabs.Client.IMAP;\r\nusing System;\r\n\r\nclass Program\r\n{\r\n static void Main(string[] args)\r\n {\r\n using (Imap imap = new Imap())\r\n {\r\n imap.Connect("imap.example.com"); \/\/ or ConnectSSL\r\n imap.UseBestLogin("user", "password");\r\n\r\n foreach (FolderInfo folder in imap.GetFolders())\r\n {\r\n Console.WriteLine(folder.Name);\r\n }\r\n imap.Close();\r\n }\r\n }\r\n};\r\n<\/pre>\n\r\n' VB.NET version:\r\n\r\nImports Limilabs.Mail\r\nImports Limilabs.Client.IMAP\r\n\r\nPublic Module Module1\r\n Public Sub Main(ByVal args As String())\r\n\r\n Using imap As New Imap()\r\n imap.Connect("imap.example.com") ' or ConnectSSL\r\n imap.UseBestLogin("user", "password")\r\n\r\n For Each folder As FolderInfo In imap.GetFolders()\r\n Console.WriteLine(folder.Name)\r\n Next\r\n imap.Close()\r\n End Using\r\n\r\n End Sub\r\nEnd Module\r\n<\/pre>\n
