Mailkit: Support for calendar and contacts

Created on 2 Feb 2016  路  1Comment  路  Source: jstedfast/MailKit

Great work @jstedfast ! Couple of questions

  • does this library support calendar / contacts support for IMAP and POP3? If not are you planning to add that in future?
  • does this also support UWP platform ? if not any plans to add that support?

Thanks and congratulations on awesome work! keep it up.

Well, technically POP3 and IMAP don't support calendar and contacts. All they support is email.

That said, some clients abuse the IMAP protocol to store email messages with vcard and/or ical attachments in their folders.

You can access those messages using MailKit, but I do not have a parser for them (that is a bit out of scope for this project, imho).

AFAIK, MimeKit and MailKit already support UWP.
