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();
}
