Hi gurus,

Is there a way of reading Hotmail emails using Xamarin Forms?

I looked at Xamarin.Essentials and it appears that this library covers sending emails.

    Hello,​

    Welcome to our Microsoft Q&A platform!

    Is there a way of reading Hotmail emails using Xamarin Forms?

    No, xamarin-essentials just provide an Api to send email, it donot provide any way to read emails in the maibox.

    I tried with OpenPop.NET , but OpenPop.NET is not compatible with monoandroid10.0 (MonoAndroid,Version=v10.0), because xamarin target .net standard, but OpenPop.NET is supports: - net20 (.NETFramework,Version=v2.0) or - net40 (.NETFramework,Version=v4.0), So we cannot install OpenPop.NET to xamarin. forms.

    You can open an feature request for this needs in github of xamarin.

    Best Regards,
