imap - Get email using PowerShell

Question

All I need is get email in PowerShell Script and see at its topic - with pop3 or imap, doesnt matter.
I tried to find solution, but all I found is either 3rd party .net assebmlies, or MS Exchange direct work. Both are not appropriate.
How to use SMTP and send email - its absolutely clear, but how to receive? Isn't there any standard assemblies similar to System.Net.Mail?

Answer 1

Here is a code I have been using on c#. I have Imported the dll to powershell and used it to retrieve different parts of a message. The dll I used is Imapx2 which is an open source. I understand that you don't want to use a third party .NET assemblies but this might help other people trying to reach to this content.

### Import the dll
[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFile(“YourDirectoryimapx.dll”)
### Create a client object
$client = New-Object ImapX.ImapClient
###set the fetching mode to retrieve the part of message you want to retrieve, 
###the less the better
$client.Behavior.MessageFetchMode = "Full"
$client.Host = "imap.gmail.com"
$client.Port = 993
$client.UseSsl = $true
$client.Connect()
$user = "User"
$password = "Password"
$client.Login($user,$password)
$messages = $client.Folders.Inbox.Search("ALL", $client.Behavior.MessageFetchMode, 1000)
foreach($m in $messages){
$m.Subject
foreach($r in $m.Attachments){
$r | Out-File "Directory"
    }
 }

I hope this was helpful
