@Chris B,

You can search by message-id (Expression.MessageId), but you still need to select a folder to search in. There is no server-wide search in IMAP protocol.

If you are using Gmail however, all emails are stored in “All Mail” folder – you can search there (consider also using Expression.GmailMessageId as it is set by server and is valid in all folders).

@ThomasD

You can get direct access to attachment’s data as MemoryStream using MimeData.GetMemoryStream() method.

@Shadowfax,

Yes, it is possible. You should simply save the eml data you get from GetMessageByUID method:

using the library is it possible to save the entire email (including all attachments) as a .eml file ? I need to store the raw format of the mail and when opening the file – it will use the default mail application .
