I was advised to use OpenPop lib to fetch my mail from hotmail. But I could'nt find any better way to check for new mail except disconnecting and reconnecting again. And there, I found a problem, Hotmail doesn't allow more than 1 pop3 login each 15 minutes. I want to know if it's possible to get the new mail without disconnecting and reconnecting to their pop3 server. Here is my code:
Timer checker = new Timer();
checker.Interval = 1000;
checker.Tick += new EventHandler(delegate
{
Pop3Client client = new Pop3Client();
client.Connect("pop3.live.com", 995, true);
client.Authenticate("[email protected]", "myPassword");
label1.Text = client.GetMessageCount().ToString();
client.Disconnect();
});
checker.Start();
