How do I get E-mail folders from a Gmail.com POP server using VB.net

I have managed to:

  1. Connect to Gmail.com POP server (pop.gmail.com) Port 995 using Socket methods (TcpClient) and POP3 Commands (USER, PASS, STAT)
  2. Get successful response from Gmail.com POP server using POP3 (STAT) command to my VB.net application (+OK)
  3. Retrieve E-mails list from my Gmail.com account
  4. Read those E-mails in plain Text format using a Textbox control.

The problem is that i get all the E-mails from the whole account, means : If the inbox folder has (90) E-mails, sent folder has (10) E-mails and trash folder has (10) E-mails, then i get (100) E-mails in my application and they are not categorized, means you can not tell which one of them from inbox and which one is from trash.

So, my question is:

  • Is there a way to retrieve these Folders separately in my VB.net application ?

No, at least not with POP3.

The POP3 protocoll does not offer things like folders. You should probably use the IMAP protocoll, then.
