Hello Guys,

I am trying to read gmail emails via imap but whenever I connect to imap then I will get this error

An existing connection was forcibly closed by the remote host

Here is my code

Imap4Client imap = new Imap4Client();
           imap.Connecting += new ConnectingEventHandler(imap_Connecting);
           imap.Connected += new ConnectedEventHandler(imap_Connected);

           imap.ConnectSsl("imap.gmail.com", 993);
           imap.Login("xxxxx@gmail.com", "xxxxxxx");
           int mailboxCount = imap.Mailboxes.Count;
           imap.Disconnect();

Currently I am using mailsystem.net API from codeplex. Can you guys tell me what i am doing wrong.

Thanks

It could be firewall problem, or you have made too many connections to the server.

You can use Imapx Libraries.Using these libraries worked for me.The best one in IMAP i believe.

If you are using these type of dlls and connecting to Gmail server then may be your organization firewall is blocking the inbound and outbound calls.This might be also because of your proxy settings.Recommends you to send a network support ticket in your organization:)
