how do i capture notification that a new message has arrived?

i am running against a gmail account if that makes any difference.

my small application must monitor a gmail account 24x7 and pick up any new message as soon as it arrives. i have the imap demo2 application running successfully against a gmail account already (many thanks for the demo!)

any suggestions?

thanks,
tim

This can be achieved using IDLE mode provided by appropriate mail server extension.

You can download a sample application here. It enters IDLE mode, and when there's a new message on IMAP server, the application stops idling, downloads the message and restarts the idling process.

The package includes complete source code and the executable file. You can use this code for developing your application.

Igor

Hi Igor, I seem to have an issue with gmail on the example, see log file. My firewall is off. I got the same result for port 993 and the default port.

any ideas?

The sample we provided you with doesn't have SSL support, but Gmail requires SSL connections. So, you should just enable SSL.

If enabling SSL (it's important to use SslStartupMode.OnConnect mode) doesn't help, please capture new log file and provide us for examination.

Best regards,
Andrew

The code itself is fine, but it seems your system experiences concurrent connections limit. Please refer to this article, it contains detailed information on the issue and instructions how to overcome it.

Igor, i don't think my system is in the state described in the article, see results below.

Its interesting that your imapdemo2 solution connects to gmail perfectly. I studied the differences and the only thing that i see is that imapdemo2 connects using asynchronous BeginConnect/EndConnect and the idle demo using synchronous Connect. any possibility that is the issue?

I tried my own suggestion - using BeginConnect/EndConnect instead of just Connect - and it did not work.

Why does IMAPDemo2 connect successfully to imap.gmail.com, but the IDLE Sample program does not?

Try IMAP Demo 1, it also uses Connect instead of BeginConnect.

Alex

Thanks Alex, i tried that, but had the same outcome:

IMAP Demo1 does not connect
IMAP Demo2 does connect
IDLE Sample does not connect

My firewall is off. I assume all 3 programs operate correctly on your equipment.

have you any other suggestions?

thanks guys,
tim

Weird. What happens if you do an opposite thing - modify IMAP Demo 2 and replace BeginConnect with Connect? Is the connection result the same?

Of course, login stage would not run in this case as the callback function won't be called but maybe the connection itself will complete successfully?

Regards,
Alex
