Unexpected characters returned when reading email using ImapX

Question

When reading the body of an email using ImapX there is unexpected text at the end. A simplified version of the code is

using (var imapClient = new ImapClient(host, port, useSSL))
{
    if (!imapClient.Connect()) 
        throw new Exception(string.Format("Failed to connect to {0}:{1}", host, port));
    if (!imapClient.Login(username, password)) 
        throw new Exception(string.Format("Login failed for {0} connecting to {1}:{2}", username, host, port));
    imapClient.Folders.Inbox.Messages.Download();
    foreach (var message in imapClient.Folders.Inbox.Messages)
    {
        var body = message.Body.HasText ? message.Body.Text : message.Body.Html;
        //Other stuff
    }
    imapClient.Disconnect();
}

and when a test email was sent with body

qwertyqwerqewrqwrqerwqreqrewrq

the body which was read using that code was

qwertyqwerqewrqwrqerwqreqrewrq
)
IMAPX10 OK UID completed

Is there any way I can return the body text without the extra stuff at the end? The mail server sent the following

Answer 1

I have gone threw the same issue. After passing couple of hours I found that there was issue in regex pattern sequence.

Download the latest source from codeplex and just change the sequence describe below.

Go to the >>

MessageContent.CS

& locate following code

else if (CommandEndRex.IsMatch(data))
            {
                for (var i = _contentBuilder.Length - 1; i >= 0; i--)
                {
                    if (_contentBuilder[i] == ')')
                    {
                        _contentBuilder.Remove(i, _contentBuilder.Length - i);
                        return;
                    }
                }
            }

and keep up it one step above the previous else if statement and it's done.

Let me know if u still face the same issue..

happy coding.
