I’m on a project that I need to develop an Email Client, however I’m somewhat lost on that, so.
I need to use the IMAP protocol (I studied its RFC in depth) and the C#language, but I can also use Java. Does anyone have any path, list of requirements, or any experience they can pass on to help with this project?
It’s going to be a lot simpler than Thunderbird. I program reasonably well however I am beginner, as I can give the initial tip on this project?

There are two ways.
If you open a telnet connection to an email server, you can pass the IMAP protocol commands via prompt. Try it, it’s fun! And if it’s possible with Telnet, it’s possible with... Sockets!
WCF is not really my specialty, but you can use it instead of sockets. I’m sure it gets easier yet.
The other way is to look at open source projects to implement IMAP in . NET (natively, the Framework only has classes to work with SMTP). Do a search there. I’ll just leave a suggestion: Mailsystem.NET.

For IMAP, you can try:
Mailsystem.NET http://briancaos.wordpress.com/2012/04/24/reading-mails-using-imap-and-mailsystem-net/
Or the aenetmail https://github.com/andyedinborough/aenetmail
see an example with the protocol on this simple client for IMAP http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/windowsdesktop/Simple-IMAP-CLIENT-b249d2e6
Our thanks I was looking for an example to a long time! I will spend the night giving a based on it. Thank you! Besides, I don’t know where to start yet, I have 2 days to deliver, I already learned 90% of the syntax of C# was very quiet. Now it’s just modeling msm.

Opa I’ll take a look here, Thanks I’ll try to do using a simplified GUI the Visual helps a lot in creating it. And thanks for the suggestion.
