Question:

Cannot connect to Gmail IMAP server

Aug 09 '17 at 12:25

Using the example provided in https://www.example-code.com/csharp_winrt/imap_ssl.asp

When I call success = await imap.ConnectAsync("imap.gmail.com");

I get as a last error

Answer

What happens if you try a non-async call instead? So:

success = imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com")

Instead of

success = await imap.ConnectAsync("imap.someMailServer.com")

Connect not available with the UWP library.

This should be fixed in the 9.5.0.69 pre-release here: https://www.nuget.org/packages/Chilkat.uwp/9.5.0.69-pre
