This is my simplified code: 

using ImapX;

private ImapClient Client { get; set; }

private void SetupListener(string mail, string password)
{
    Client = new ImapClient();
    Client.Connect("imap.gmx.net", 993, true);
    // Client.IsConnected == true

    Client.Login(mail, password);
    // Client.IsAuthenticated == true

    // Test 1
    Client.Folders.Inbox.OnNewMessagesArrived += MessageArrived;
    // Test 2
    Client.OnNewMessagesArrived += MessageArrived;
}

private void MessageArrived(object sender, IdleEventArgs e)
{
    MessageBox.Show("This never pops up!");
}

This already shows up my problem. MessageArrived is never getting called. I tried this out with 2 different providers. Same problem for both (t-online.de and gmx.net).

Any idea whats going on in here?
The documentation isn't showing up anything else than this.

  • How does this code show that `MessageArrived` doesn't get called? – Enigmativity Aug 29 '17 at 13:07
  • I've written the code shows up my problem. Then I "told" you that i doesn gets executed. Anyway, that's not the problem in here. – C4d Aug 29 '17 at 13:09
  • @AntonKomyshan Sir, I love you. I got mad for hours with this. Starting the idle-process seriously solved this. Even if this is a small thing, that wasn't mentioned in the documentation. Maybe you should post it as an answer? There's nothing similar as a question available. – C4d Aug 29 '17 at 13:10

Please, try to call Client.Folders.Inbox.StartIdling(); after subscribing.

This will help you to receive messages in real time.

I refer to the documentation here

ImapX supports idle, so you can receive new messages just-in-time. Once new messages arrive in the current folder, they will be downloaded automatically and an event will be fired.

    Oh this "so you can" part is the one that says you have to use idle to be able to use the events. Thank you very much! – C4d Aug 29 '17 at 13:57
