I want to read mails from Gmail without deleting them while reading. However I want to have the option to delete a specific email.

Where do I begin?( I don't want to use others libraries - I want to start it from scratch)

    If you are just looking at Gmail, you will find it far easier to use the RSS feeds provided. – Brad Dec 15 '10 at 18:52
  • I managed to read the mails using Atom Feed. Is their any way using Atom Feed to delete mails? – Alex K Dec 17 '10 at 15:54

Per this about IMAP and this about POP, there is no built-in support for IMAP or POP in .Net. However, there are a plethora of free (and open-source) utilities you can use.

There is no .NET framework support for IMAP. You'll need to use some 3rd party component.

This question and related questions have a list of libraries and links. Accessing Imap in C#
