I am using this code to connect to my exchange server.
I am trying to retrieve an inbox of basically emails that have not been read
however, i am just getting a bunch of gibberish and its reading an email.
can you help me modify my code to just read the most recent messages.
Try
tcpClient.Connect(hostName, 110)
Dim networkStream As NetworkStream = tcpClient.GetStream()
Dim bytes(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize) As Byte
Dim sendBytes As Byte()
networkStream.Read(bytes, 0, CInt(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize))
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("User " + userName + vbCrLf)
networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length)
sTemp = networkStream.Read(bytes, 0, CInt(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize))
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("Pass " + userPassword + vbCrLf)
networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length)
sTemp = networkStream.Read(bytes, 0, CInt(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize))
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("STAT" + vbCrLf)
networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length)
sTemp = networkStream.Read(bytes, 0, CInt(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize))
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("RETR " + messageNumber + vbCrLf)
networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length)
networkStream.Read(bytes, 0, CInt(tcpClient.ReceiveBufferSize))
returnMessage = Encoding.ASCII.GetString(bytes)
EmailContent.Text = returnMessage
sendBytes = Encoding.ASCII.GetBytes("QUIT" + vbCrLf)
networkStream.Write(sendBytes, 0, sendBytes.Length)
tcpClient.Close()
Catch ex As Exception
EmailContent.Text = "Could not retrieve email or your inbox is empty"
End Try
