I’d like to use a C# program to poll a gmail account and automatically download new messages. I know you can use gmail as an outbound SMTP server, but is there any way to access new messages sent to the account?
EDIT: Thanks for the rapid feedback….so I have two options, POP or IMAP.
Which one should I use? And why?
EDIT #2: Looks like IMAP allows me to not have to poll. Looks like the way to go.
Use Gmail with IMAP.
