how to read email from gmail using c#

Question

I want to create window application through which i can read email from gmail.

Actually i want to read proper format of email like to,from,subject,cc and body.

        using (Imap imap = new Imap())
        {
            imap.ConnectSSL("mail.company.com");
            imap.Login("[email protected]", "xyx***");

            imap.SelectInbox();
            List<long> uids = imap.SearchFlag(Flag.Unseen);
            foreach (long uid in uids)
            {
                string eml = imap.GetMessageByUID(uid);
                IMail message = new MailBuilder()
                    .CreateFromEml(eml);

                Console.WriteLine(message.Subject);
                Console.WriteLine(message.TextDataString);
            }
            imap.Close(true);
        }    

It is this error. No connection could be made because the target machine actively refused it

Try this I have added the Port number along with the gmail imap server for connection to the server

    using (Imap imap = new Imap())
    {
        imap.ConnectSSL("imap.gmail.com", 993);
        imap.Login("[email protected]", "xyx***"); // MailID As Username and Password

        imap.SelectInbox();
        List<long> uids = imap.SearchFlag(Flag.Unseen);
        foreach (long uid in uids)
        {
            string eml = imap.GetMessageByUID(uid);
            IMail message = new MailBuilder()
                .CreateFromEml(eml);

            Console.WriteLine(message.Subject);
            Console.WriteLine(message.TextDataString);
        }
        imap.Close(true);
    }
