@Richard,

Have you used foreach? Envelope.From is a collection.
Each item in this collection is of MailBox type, which has Address and Name properties.

System.Collections.Generic.List`1[Limilabs.Mail.Headers.MailBox]

Help?!?

@Math,

GetHeadersByUID downloads only message headers, there are no information about attachments, message size.

You are trying to compare apples to oranges here.

If you don’t care about attachments’ info, GetEnvelopeByUID should be faster then GetHeadersByUID and GetMessageInfoByUID.

I can read 1000 mails in 7-8 seconds, how GetMessageInfo then be the fastest?

@Jacek

It’s not a bug.

The latest version has PeekSpecificHeaders and PeekSpecificHeadersByUID methods that don’t set Seen flag. Generally Peek* methods in contrast to Get* methods don’t set Seen flag.

Please let me know if you plan to fix this. Thanks.

@Boris,

Unfortunately not all headers are included in envelope response.
You can use Imap.GetSpecificHeadersByUID(List uids, string[] headers) to get those you are missing, but expect significant performance drop as this command expects multi-line response.

Please note that this method is available in the newest version of Mail.dll

I’d like to use this fast method in my application, but can’t think about a way to retrieve the Priority/Importance this way. I’m sure there is a way, so can you please help me out if you have a little time?
Thanks in advance!
