Boudi I did a similar thing with this .NET library for emails.
You have to choose which protocol to use, this would typically depend on what email server you have, but in your case you have a major email provider (Microsoft) which provides a support for any protocol.
So you can go with either a C# code for reading emails via POP protocol or a C# code for reading email via IMAP protocol.
