I want to notify users when he receives a certain Email with a specific sound. So I need to detect the title of Email.

I can use MailMessage in framework 2.0, but this class is not supported in compact framework on Windows Mobile. Any suggestion about which class can I use? Or is it impossible?

    Another option is to use POP3.

    Use an ordinary socket-connection and connect to your user’s mail-account (normally port 110). You can then execute some POP3-commands such as TOP which retrieves a part of the message. For instance:

    Example 1 – Return headers only:

    TOP 1 0
+OK Top of message follows
--- all message headers ---

    Example 2 – Return headers and first 10 lines of body:

    TOP 1 10
+OK Top of message follows
--- all message headers ---

--- first 10 lines of body ---

    When you receive the same, you can parse the text for the word: “Subject:” which is part of the headers.

    Here is a web-page covering some basic POP3-commands. In any case, by using Google you can find a lot of useful information about POP3.

    Good luck
