Gmail runs TLS/SSL secured IMAP server on imap.gmail.com, port 993. Following C# code demonstrates how to connect to it using Rebex Secure Mail or Rebex Secure IMAP:

// connect and log in
Imap imap = new Imap();
imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com", 993, null, ImapSecurity.Implicit);
imap.Login(username, password);

// process messagess...

// logount and disconnect
imap.Disconnect();

For more information about TLS/SSL and its modes (explicit/implicit), check out our tutorial at rebex.net/secure-mail.net/tutorial-ssl.aspx – Lukas Pokorny♦ Jan 14 at 11:56

ImapSecurity.Implicit is not in the library. What library shall I include to run this? Otherwise it doesnt connect to the server.

ImapSecurity.Implicit is in "Rebex Secure IMAP" and "Rebex Secure Mail", so please use one of these two. It is missing in "Rebex IMAP" and "Rebex Mail". – Lukas Pokorny♦ Mar 2 at 11:34
