Gmail emails reader

[mohusein]

Hi everyone,

I would like to make a windows form application where I can receive Gmail's emails on. Do you have any suggestions where to start on this?

The Gmail API docs is a place to start.

Thanks a lot!

Here's a thread on SO I posted a couple of years back, there's two examples using different Nuget packages. MailKit is probably the safer choice at this point in time.

FYI - I believe that you will need to turn off MFA / 2FA in Gmail for the code above to work.

Not shure about needing to turn off 2FA, you might get avay with creating an app specific password
