Hello friends,

I am fetching mail from Gmail using IMAP (In Windows Service) which run on background.
But When loop start to fetch mail It read all mail from starting. But I want that It read mail According to current date.

What query should use for this that response time should be less.

I am using this

C#



//code
public void mail()
        {
            string date = Convert.ToString(DateTime.Today);

            Imap client = new Imap();
            // connect to server
            client.Connect("imap.gmail.com", 993, SslMode.Implicit);
            // authenticate
            client.Login("abc@gmail.com", "abc123456");
            // select folder
            client.SelectFolder("Inbox");
            ImapMessageCollection messages = client.GetMessageList(ImapListFields.Envelope);
            if (con.State != ConnectionState.Open)
            {
                con.Open();
            }
            
            foreach (ImapMessageInfo message in messages)
            {
               
               // string todaydate = DateTime.Now.ToString("dd/MM/yyyy");
                if (message.Date.LocalTime.ToShortDateString() == DateTime.Now.Date.ToShortDateString())
                {
                    Insert_mail(message.UniqueId, message.Sender.ToString(), message.To.ToString(), message.Subject, message.Date.LocalTime, client.GetMailMessage(message.SequenceNumber).BodyText,message.HasBodyHtml);
                }
                
            }
              if (con.State == ConnectionState.Open)
                {
                    con.Close();
                }
            
        }

C#
public void Insert_mail(string Uid, string from, string to, string subject, DateTime datetime, string message)
    {
       try
       {

                MySqlCommand cmd = new MySqlCommand();
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@unique_id", Uid);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@sender", from);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@reciever", to);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@subject", subject);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@date", datetime);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@message", message);
                cmd.Parameters.AddWithValue("@mail_status", "unread");
                cmd.Connection = con;
                string query = "Insert Ignore into gmail_inbox(unique_id,sender,reciever,subject,date,message,mail_status) values (@unique_id,@sender,@reciever,@subject,@date,@message,@mail_status) ";
                cmd.CommandText = query;
                cmd.ExecuteNonQuery();
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                MessageBox.Show(ex.Message);
            }
            finally
            {

            }

    }

Hello Neetesh,

Use following query to read emails in descending order. Also ensure that you have index on date Column.
SQL
SELECT * FROM into gmail_inbox ORDER BY date DESC

If you want to retrieve emails for a particular receiver then use
SQL
SELECT * FROM into gmail_inbox WHERE receiver = @receiver ORDER BY date DESC
Use SQLCommand with SQLParameter to supply the value for @receiver.

Regards,

Hello Prasad Sir, Thanks for Reply but My Problem is something else. I want while message from gmail Its only scan current date email not whole mail of Inbox(bcz there should be more than 10000) mail . So My need if there is any way that Its read only current date mail

I think I have answered it in your earlier post. http://www.codeproject.com/Questions/574133/Date-time-from-current-time-to-two-days-ago.aspx. Use IMAP Filters to search the mails.

Thanks... I got the solution.

It Means It can read mail in just Reverse order.
