Exchange Web Services API: Receive Mail Attachments

Question

I use EWS API 1.2 to access mailboxes on our Exchange server. It just works fine, but there is one thing I cannot achieve: receive email attachments.

Im wrote the following lines:

class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { try { ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP2); service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("login","password"); service.AutodiscoverUrl(" [e-mail] "); ItemView view = new ItemView(10); FindItemsResults<Item> findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, new ItemView(10)); if (findResults != null && findResults.Items != null && findResults.Items.Count > 0) foreach (Item item in findResults.Items) { if (item.Attachments != null) { IEnumerator<Attachment> e = item.Attachments.GetEnumerator(); } Console.WriteLine(item.Subject); } else Console.WriteLine("no items"); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine(e.Message); } Console.ReadLine(); } } 

I get all the emails in a verified mailbox, but IEnumerator<Attachment> e = item.Attachments.GetEnumerator(); doesn't seem to see the "attachment".

Do you have any idea what I missed?

Many thanks.

I finally managed to get the email attachments. I changed my code below

 class Program { public static void Main(string[] args) { try { ExchangeService service = new ExchangeService(ExchangeVersion.Exchange2010_SP2); service.Credentials = new WebCredentials("login","pwd"); service.AutodiscoverUrl(" [e-mail] "); ItemView view = new ItemView(10); FindItemsResults<Item> findResults = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, new ItemView(10)); if (findResults != null && findResults.Items != null && findResults.Items.Count > 0) foreach (Item item in findResults.Items) { EmailMessage message = EmailMessage.Bind(service, item.Id, new PropertySet(BasePropertySet.IdOnly, ItemSchema.Attachments, ItemSchema.HasAttachments)); foreach (Attachment attachment in message.Attachments) { if (attachment is FileAttachment) { FileAttachment fileAttachment = attachment as FileAttachment; fileAttachment.Load(); Console.WriteLine("Attachment name: " + fileAttachment.Name); } } Console.WriteLine(item.Subject); } else Console.WriteLine("no items"); } catch (Exception e) { Console.WriteLine(e.Message); } Console.ReadLine(); } }
