This article demonstrates how to delete a specific email message along with all email messages using Spire.Email component.
Detail steps:
Step 1: Create a POP3 client.
Pop3Client pop3 = new Pop3Client();
Step 2: Set host, authentication, port and connection protocol.
pop3.Host = "outlook.office365.com"; pop3.Username = "LeonDavisLD@outlook.com"; pop3.Password = "password"; pop3.Port = 995; pop3.EnableSsl = true;
Step 3: Connect the pop server.
pop3.Connect();
Step 4: Get the number of messages before deleting message(s).
//Get the number of messages before deleting message(s)
Pop3MessageInfoCollection messages = pop3.GetAllMessages();
Console.WriteLine("Number of messages before deleting: " + messages.Count);
Step 5: Delete message(s).
//Delete an email message by its sequence number pop3.DeleteMessage(2); //Delete all messages //pop3.DeleteAllMessages();
Step 6: Get the number of messages after deleting message(s).
//Get the number of messages after deleting message(s)
messages = pop3.GetAllMessages();
Console.WriteLine("Number of messages after deleting: " + messages.Count);
