Gmail IMAP Extractor

This project is a C# application that uses the Chilkat library to interact with Gmail's IMAP services. It provides functionality to extract email addresses from the "From" field and identify bounced emails using specific search criteria.

Features

  • Extract "From" Addresses: Connects to a Gmail account, retrieves emails from the inbox, and extracts unique email addresses from the "From" field.
  • Extract Bounced Emails: Searches for bounced emails (from mailer-daemon@googlemail.com) and extracts the failed recipient email addresses.
  • Multi-account Support: Supports extracting emails from multiple Gmail accounts at once.
  • IMAP over SSL: The application securely connects to Gmail's IMAP server using SSL.

Requirements

  • Chilkat Library: Chilkat .NET library for IMAP and email functionality.
  • .NET Framework: .NET framework for running the application.
  • Gmail IMAP: Make sure IMAP is enabled in your Gmail account settings.

  2. Clone this repository:

  3. Open the project in Visual Studio and ensure that the Chilkat library is referenced.

Usage
