Reading large size emails using .NET api for Gmail

Question

I am trying to get the message using Gmail API's. I am able to fetch the messages which are smaller in size. But when try to get large size message, it throws exception as 'Task was cancel'. As per google documentation I tried to get message as RAW as well as FULL formats. Also I tried with increased timeout for request. But having same result.

Is there any other way by which I can read large messages?

Here is my sample code:

try 
{
    GmailServiceObj = new GmailService(new BaseClientService.Initializer()
                                {
                                    ApplicationName = _appname,
                                    HttpClientInitializer = _userCredentials
                                }); 
    UsersResource.MessagesResource.GetRequest MessageGetRequestObj;
    MessageGetRequestObj= GmailServiceObj.Users.Messages.Get(UserEmailID, ItemID);        
    MessageGetRequestObj.Service.HttpClient.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 5, 0);        
    MessageGetRequestObj.Format = UsersResource.MessagesResource.GetRequest.FormatEnum.Raw;        
    var _message = MessageGetRequestObj.Execute(); // throws exception
}
catch(Exception e)
{   //The request was aborted: The request was canceled.
    // trying to read same message in parts
    MessageGetRequestObj.Format = UsersResource.MessagesResource.GetRequest.FormatEnum.Full;
    var _message = MessageGetRequestObj.Execute();
    string res = Readparts(Emailobj.Payload.Parts, ItemID);

}

private String Readparts(IList<MessagePart> parts, string msgid)
{
    StringBuilder mime = new StringBuilder();
    try
    {
        foreach (var part in parts)
        {

            try
            {
                if (part != null && part.Body != null)
                    mime.Append(part.Body.Data);
                if (part.Body != null && part.Body.AttachmentId != null)
                {
                    var resource = GmailServiceObj.Users.Messages.Attachments.Get("me", msgid, part.Body.AttachmentId);
                    MessagePartBody attachPart = resource.Execute(); // Throws exception 

                    // Converting from RFC 4648 base64 to base64url encoding
                    // see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Base64#Implementations_and_history
                    String attachData = attachPart.Data.Replace('-', '+');
                    attachData = attachData.Replace('_', '/');
                    mime.Append(attachData);
                }
                if (part.Parts != null && part.Parts.Count > 0)
                {
                    mime.Append(Readparts(part.Parts, msgid));
                }
            }
            catch (Exception er) { }
        }
    }
    catch (Exception ex)
    {}
    return mime.ToString();
}

Thanks in advance.

MessageGetRequestObj.Service.HttpClient.Timeout = new TimeSpan(0, 5, 0);

this is likely your issue. Looks like you're setting your HTTP client to timeout after 5 (seconds?) inactivity. You should either increase that timeout significantly or disable timeout entirely.
