Hi. Is it possible to receive e-mail from g-mail inbox in my application textbox? Or something similar? All I really need is to receive e-mails in my application. I want my e-mails to appear in a textbox like this - for example:

Textbox:
--------------------------------------------
Subject: 'insert subject here'
Sender: 'insert sender here'
Date and Time: 'insert date and time here'
--------------------------------------------

What I have tried:

I have tried some YouTube videos, but the source never works... the mail won't receive. Can you help me out? :)

google "c# pop3" for code or libraries that can read emails from a mail server.

There are two issues to work on.
1. Write the code to receive messages from your email provider.
2. Parse those messages and put the relevant items into the text boxes on your form.

There are many samples available via Google that show the code for sending or receiving email messages.
