Using EWS to retrieve emails and want only the text from the body

I am able to retrieve all the emails and log them but I can't seem to get the body to just be plain text. I've tried looking at other examples on here but I can't seem to grasp the problem. Below is my code so far:
//retrieve emails in blocks of 50
int offset = 1;
int pageSize = 50;
bool moreEmails = true;
ItemView view = new ItemView(pageSize, offset, OffsetBasePoint.Beginning);
view.PropertySet = PropertySet.IdOnly;
while (moreEmails)
{
findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, view);
foreach (var item in findResults.Items)
{
emails.Add((EmailMessage)item);
}
moreEmails = findResults.MoreAvailable;
if (moreEmails)
{
view.Offset += pageSize;
}
}
PropertySet properties = new
PropertySet (BasePropertySet.FirstClassProperties);
service.LoadPropertiesForItems(emails, properties);
properties.RequestedBodyType = BodyType.Text;
I'm initialising the variables in a separate function:
private static void CheckRules()
{
try
{
foreach (var EmailParam in emails)
{
FromEmail = EmailParam.From.Address.ToString();
EmailDate = EmailParam.DateTimeReceived.ToString("yyyy-MM-dd hh:mm:ss");
EmailSubject = EmailParam.Subject.ToString();
EmailBody = EmailParam.Body.Text.ToString();
etc...
So again, I just want the body to be plain text. Thanks in advance for any help!

How to DownLoad Mail Attachment by using EWS in Exchange

I am using ASP.Net MVC.
using (ExchangeServiceBinding exchangeServer = new ExchangeServiceBinding())
{
ICredentials creds = new NetworkCredential("username", "password");
exchangeServer.Credentials = creds;
exchangeServer.Url = "https://myexchangeserver.com/EWS/Exchange.asmx";
FindItemType findItemRequest = new FindItemType();
findItemRequest.Traversal = ItemQueryTraversalType.Shallow;
// define which item properties are returned in the response
ItemResponseShapeType itemProperties = new ItemResponseShapeType();
itemProperties.BaseShape = DefaultShapeNamesType.AllProperties;
findItemRequest.ItemShape = itemProperties;
// identify which folder to search
DistinguishedFolderIdType[] folderIDArray = new DistinguishedFolderIdType[1];
folderIDArray[0] = new DistinguishedFolderIdType();
folderIDArray[0].Id = DistinguishedFolderIdNameType.inbox;
// add folders to request
findItemRequest.ParentFolderIds = folderIDArray;
// find the messages
FindItemResponseType findItemResponse = exchangeServer.FindItem(findItemRequest);
// read returned
FindItemResponseMessageType folder = (FindItemResponseMessageType)findItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items[0];
ArrayOfRealItemsType folderContents = new ArrayOfRealItemsType();
folderContents = (ArrayOfRealItemsType)folder.RootFolder.Item;
ItemType[] items = folderContents.Items;
// if no messages were found, then return null -- we're done
if (items == null || items.Count() <= 0)
{ return null; }
// FindItem never gets "all" the properties, so now that we've found them all, we need to get them all.
BaseItemIdType[] itemIds = new BaseItemIdType[items.Count()];
for (int i = 0; i < items.Count(); i++)
{
itemIds[i] = items[i].ItemId;
}
GetItemType getItemType = new GetItemType();
getItemType.ItemIds = itemIds;
getItemType.ItemShape = new ItemResponseShapeType();
getItemType.ItemShape.BaseShape = DefaultShapeNamesType.AllProperties;
getItemType.ItemShape.BodyType = BodyTypeResponseType.HTML;
getItemType.ItemShape.BodyTypeSpecified = true;
GetItemResponseType getItemResponse = exchangeServer.GetItem(getItemType);
ItemType[] messages = new ItemType[getItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items.Count()];
List<MailRecipientModel> model = new List<MailRecipientModel>();
for (int j = 0; j < messages.Count(); j++)
{
messages[j] = ((ItemInfoResponseMessageType)getItemResponse.ResponseMessages.Items[j]).Items.Items[0];
MailRecipientModel model1 = new MailRecipientModel();
model1.Subject = messages[j].Subject;
model1.FromAddress = messages[j].Sender.Item.EmailAddress;
model1.DisplayName = messages[j].Sender.Item.Name;
model1.Date = messages[j].DateTimeReceived.Date.ToString();
model1.MailBody = messages[j].Body.Value;
model1.MsgId = messages[j].ItemId.Id;
if (messages[j].Attachments != null) {
//
}
model.Add(model1);
}
return model;
}
This my code I wanna download attachment file and if attachment file is image so its display in browser.
I am using Microsoft ActiveSync Exchange Server.
If you know how to do so please help me.

public List<FileAttachment> getAttachmentFromExchangeAccount( ExchangeAccounts exchangeAccount, String attachmentId, String itemId) {
ExchangeService service = obtainExchangeService(exchangeAccount);
List<FileAttachment> fileAttachmentsEWS = new ArrayList<>();
try {
EmailMessage message = EmailMessage.bind(service, new ItemId(attachmentId), new PropertySet(ItemSchema.Attachments));
message.load();
for (Attachment attachment : message.getAttachments()) {
attachment.load();
if (attachment.getId().equals(itemId)) {
FileAttachment fileAttachment = (FileAttachment) attachment;
fileAttachment.load();
fileAttachmentsEWS.add(fileAttachment);
}
}
} catch (ServiceLocalException e) {
LOG.debug("OUT NOK loadAttachmentFile ServiceLocalException");
LOG.debug(e.getMessage());
} catch (Exception e) {
LOG.debug("OUT NOK loadAttachmentFile Exception");
LOG.debug(e.getMessage());
}
return fileAttachmentsEWS;
}

You should be using the GetAttachment operation https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/office/aa494316(v=exchg.150).aspx . There is a Proxy code sample https://blogs.msdn.microsoft.com/vikas/2007/10/15/howto-ews-use-getattachment-to-download-attachments-off-mailappointment/

Execute mail reader program without visual studio

With reference to my previous question, I already wrote my program and it is working awesome when I am using VS2008 for run it.
I have two more questions:
1. I want to check with you guys when I run my program all the mail are appearing in VS output as xml file, but I never used to print them in output. is it usual for all or I need to add something to remove it. I feel it takes long time from my PC to show mails in output.
2. my second question is that when I want to use only exe file stand alone(run program via exe file not with VS ) I am receiving below error and program is hanging & close.
"MailReader has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are
sorry for the inconvenience."
As I mentioned above this program is working fine in VS.
I copy part of my code that read mails and split them for your reference.
public void ReadMail()

ServicePointManager.ServerCertificateValidationCallback += delegate(object sender,
X509Certificate certificate,
X509Chain chain,

service.Url = new Uri(_exchange);
//SearchFilter to get unreaded messages only.

//DateTime searchdate = new DateTime(2012, 7, 6); //Year, month, day

catch (Exception ex)
{
MessageBox.Show("Class: Mail Function:ReadMail" + ex.Message);
}
Action action2 = () => fr.setText(ToString(true),dmd);
fr.Invoke(action2, null);
}

For issue #1 - you are viewing the XML output likely because you have EWS tracing enabled. You need to set ExchangeService.TraceEnabled to false or comment it out entirely. (You also have many duplicate lines of code you need to cleanup.)
service.TraceEnabled = false;
For issue #2 - you need to determine the actual .NET exception. Without this - we cannot help you further. It could be crashing for countless reasons. Please provide a stack trace.

How to save email attachment using OpenPop

I have created a Web Email Application, How do I view and save attached files?
I am using OpenPop, a third Party dll, I can send emails with attachments and read emails with no attachments.
This works fine:
Pop3Client pop3Client = (Pop3Client)Session["Pop3Client"]; // Creating newPopClient
int messageNumber = int.Parse(Request.QueryString["MessageNumber"]);
Message message = pop3Client.GetMessage(messageNumber);
MessagePart messagePart = message.MessagePart.MessageParts[1];
lblFrom.Text = message.Headers.From.Address; // Writeing message.
lblSubject.Text = message.Headers.Subject;
lblBody.Text=messagePart.BodyEncoding.GetString(messagePart.Body);
This second portion of code displays the contents of the attachment, but that's only useful if its a text file. I need to be able to save the attachment. Also the bottom section of code I have here over writes the body of my message, so if I receive an attachment I can't view my message body.
if (messagePart.IsAttachment == true) {
foreach (MessagePart attachment in message.FindAllAttachments()) {
if (attachment.FileName.Equals("blabla.pdf")) { // Save the raw bytes to a file
File.WriteAllBytes(attachment.FileName, attachment.Body); //overwrites MessagePart.Body with attachment
}
}
}

If anyone is still looking for answer this worked fine for me.
var client = new Pop3Client();
try
{
client.Connect("MailServerName", Port_Number, UseSSL); //UseSSL true or false
client.Authenticate("UserID", "password");
var messageCount = client.GetMessageCount();
var Messages = new List<Message>(messageCount);
for (int i = 0;i < messageCount; i++)
{
Message getMessage = client.GetMessage(i + 1);
Messages.Add(getMessage);
}
foreach (Message msg in Messages)
{
foreach (var attachment in msg.FindAllAttachments())
{
string filePath = Path.Combine(#"C:\Attachment", attachment.FileName);
if(attachment.FileName.Equals("blabla.pdf"))
{
FileStream Stream = new FileStream(filePath, FileMode.Create);
BinaryWriter BinaryStream = new BinaryWriter(Stream);
BinaryStream.Write(attachment.Body);
BinaryStream.Close();
}
}
}
}
catch (Exception ex)
{
Console.WriteLine("", ex.Message);
}
finally
{
if (client.Connected)
client.Dispose();
}

for future readers there is easier way with newer releases of Pop3
using( OpenPop.Pop3.Pop3Client client = new Pop3Client())
{
client.Connect("in.mail.Your.Mailserver.com", 110, false);
client.Authenticate("usernamePop3", "passwordPop3", AuthenticationMethod.UsernameAndPassword);
if (client.Connected)
{
int messageCount = client.GetMessageCount();
List<Message> allMessages = new List<Message>(messageCount);
for (int i = messageCount; i > 0; i--)
{
allMessages.Add(client.GetMessage(i));
}
foreach (Message msg in allMessages)
{
var att = msg.FindAllAttachments();
foreach (var ado in att)
{
ado.Save(new System.IO.FileInfo(System.IO.Path.Combine("c:\\xlsx", ado.FileName)));
}
}
}
}

The OpenPop.Mime.Message class has ToMailMessage() method that converts OpenPop's Message to System.Net.Mail.MailMessage, which has an Attachments property. Try extracting attachments from there.

I wrote this quite a long time ago, but have a look at this block of code that I used for saving XML attachments within email messages sat on a POP server:
OpenPOP.POP3.POPClient client = new POPClient("pop.yourserver.co.uk", 110, "your#email.co.uk", "password_goes_here", AuthenticationMethod.USERPASS);
if (client.Connected) {
int msgCount = client.GetMessageCount();
/* Cycle through messages */
for (int x = 0; x < msgCount; x++)
{
OpenPOP.MIMEParser.Message msg = client.GetMessage(x, false);
if (msg != null) {
for (int y = 0; y < msg.AttachmentCount; y++)
{
Attachment attachment = (Attachment)msg.Attachments[y];
if (string.Compare(attachment.ContentType, "text/xml") == 0)
{
System.Xml.XmlDocument doc = new System.Xml.XmlDocument();
string xml = attachment.DecodeAsText();
doc.LoadXml(xml);
doc.Save(#"C:\POP3Temp\test.xml");
}
}
}
}
}

List<Message> lstMessages = FetchAllMessages("pop.mail-server.com", 995, true,"Your Email ID", "Your Password");
The above line of code gets the list of all the messages from your email using corresponding pop mail-server.
For example, to get the attachment of latest (or first) email in the list, you can write following piece of code.
List<MessagePart> lstAttachments = lstMessages[0].FindAllAttachments(); //Gets all the attachments associated with latest (or first) email from the list.
for (int attachment = 0; attachment < lstAttachments.Count; attachment++)
{
FileInfo file = new FileInfo("Some File Name");
lstAttachments[attachment].Save(file);
}

private KeyValuePair<byte[], FileInfo> parse(MessagePart part)
{
var _steam = new MemoryStream();
part.Save(_steam);
//...
var _info = new FileInfo(part.FileName);
return new KeyValuePair<byte[], FileInfo>(_steam.ToArray(), _info);
}
//... How to use
var _attachments = message
.FindAllAttachments()
.Select(a => parse(a))
;

Just in case someone wants the code for VB.NET:
For Each emailAttachment In client.GetMessage(count).FindAllAttachments
AttachmentName = emailAttachment.FileName
'----// Write the file to the folder in the following format: <UniqueID> followed by two underscores followed by the <AttachmentName>
Dim strmFile As New FileStream(Path.Combine("C:\Test\Attachments", EmailUniqueID & "__" & AttachmentName), FileMode.Create)
Dim BinaryStream = New BinaryWriter(strmFile)
BinaryStream.Write(emailAttachment.Body)
BinaryStream.Close()
