How to download/save all the inbox/sent emails using mailkit/mimekit IMAP?

Question

I have successfully used MAILKIT/MIMEKIT api for sending/receiving emails. Now, i am using the IMAP function to download the INBOX and SENT items emails and store them locally? What should I use a database ? or how should I proceed ?

Answer 1

You can use a database or you can save all of the messages into a Maildir structure, or you could even save all of the messages to a single file like an mbox .

How you decide to handle this is completely up to you.
