You can find all required code in this blog post. Use Imap.GetMessageByUID to download email message and MailBuilder.CreateFromEml to parse it. Then use IMail.Attchments collection.

I want to get the attachments for a selected email by passing the messageid or the uid as a parameter.

Kindly let me know how can i do this.

I think you should contact our support with such detailed questions.

> How i can download datewise attachments only ?
You can’t. IMAP server manages messages, not attachments.

First you’ll need to search for email messages using your required criteria. Of course you can find messages within specified dates. Then you can download them entirely (see this article) -or- download message attachments only.

I’m sorry, but I don’t understand what you try to accomplish. What do you mean by “Gmail session”? Please contact our support.

Thanks again.

@Yuvraj,

> 1. can we filter mail attachments by name & how ?
Use MimeData.FileName or MimeData.SafeFileName properties. You can find samples in this article.

> 2. can we download PDF attachments ?
Yes, you can download any kind of attachment.

> 3. I want to download day wise attachments
You can filter emails that arrived since you last check or search for messages within certain dates. You can also use Gmail’s search syntax.

In most scenarios you download attachments along with the email message. You can however get email information and structure first and then download parts of such message.

I am using your trail application to download GMail Attachments, can you please support me for following questions:
1. can we filter mail attachments by name & how ?
2. can we download PDF attachments ?
3. I want to download day wise attachments

I want to use this in my application. So please support me for test it.

Many Thanks !!!

@Jarek,

As you probably know there are 3 attachment collections:

IMail.Visuals – contains files that should be displayed to the user (usually images embedded inside HTML emails).
IMail.NonVisuals – “real” attachments.
IMail.Attachments – contains all attachments (this includes Visuals and NonVisuals).

Company logo image in the footer is indistinguishable from any other images that are embedded inside HTML, so the answer to your question is no, it is not possible. But it is also not a “real” attachment (rather a visual element) – consider using IMail.NonVisuals collection.

Mail.dll needs to establish connection to the server, it seems that your antivirus software or firewall is preventing this.
Make sure you have antivirus/firewall software disabled or configured correctly.
