How to Access SMTP & IMAP Server using OAuth inside .NET Apps
This technical tip explains how .NET developers can Access SMTP & IMAP Server using OAuth inside .NET Applications. Aspose.Email for .NET can be used to access SMTP and IMAP servers. OAuth support for Google mail is implemented only for version 2.0 as OAuth 1.0 has been officially deprecated as of April 20, 2012. At this moment, Google supports OAuth only for the Google Apps Platform and public mail accounts can't be used with the OAuth mechanism. When a new Google Apps account is created, a new "Installed Application" should be registered for this account for testing in the APIs Console. Free trial accounts can be created, provided by Google Apps for Business.
