In reply to Wagner.

@Wagner,

1. Consider using OAuth 2.0:

2.
Examine the request object. Does it contain “oauth_verifier” parameter?

I’m trying to do in asp.net, is giving error in command

Dim oauth_verifier As String = Request(“oauth_verifier”).ToString()

Error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

No – It is GMail that asks the user, if he allows the application to access his mailbox.
The application itself does not have access to the user name nor the password.

“The key advantage of this method is that it allows an application to access users email without knowing user’s password.”

ParameterList and OAuth are classes from Mail.dll assembly (http://www.limilabs.com/mail/download).
You only need to reference this assembly.

Are you getting any exception?

Yes, this is correct behavior.
You need to log in to Gmail in order to validate your request.

Please note that you are not giving your credentials to the application,
but only to Gmail’s web interface using web browser.
