ok, here is "your strategy": So you want to read all unread files on gmail using .NET. OK. If you want to do it, you need to set up your gmail account to provide you pop3 (can be found in account settings) Next step is you need to learn something about POP3, I would recommend you to go to www.answers.com/POP3 Some good points can be found there. Actually, I have been using Answers.com for ages and it always provided my some usefull stuff :) Ok, so if you did it correctly now you know that POP3 resides on port 110 and it is simple SMTP-like protocol... Communication runs via socket and you send text request and obtain text response (text parsing skills will be ok for sure).
Now we will try our old friend google. I used keywords POP3 commands and these two links were in the top: http://www.yuki-onna.co.uk/email/pop.html (reading e-mails using telnet) http://www.good-stuff.co.uk/useful/pop3.php (some pop3 commands) and maybe this will be useful to you as well http://techhelp.santovec.us/pop3telnet.htm (similar like the first link). So, what you need for programming this: Knowledge of sockets, parsing text and not too lazy fingers while using Google.
