C# Fetch certain email with subject

Question

How can I fetch an email, that has the subject I'm looking for in Hotmail using C#.

e.g. I want the emails(body/message) that has the word "Yahoo" in its subject.

Tried using many examples online but they weren't really clear. Thanks

You need to post some code or narrow down your question. Your question as it stands now is either "can someone write the code for me" or "can someone suggest a library for me", both of which are off-topic on Stack Overflow. — Lasse V. Karlsen, Dec 19 '14 at 11:43

You can connect to your hotmail account using the OpenPop.Net open source library. It has a lot of useful methods to communicate with a POP3 server. There is a lot of useful examples online. A simple code to connect to the POP3 server could work look this:

using(Pop3Client client = new Pop3Client())
{
    client.Connect(hotmailHostName, pop3Port, useSsl);
    client.Authenticate(username, password, AuthenticationMethod.UsernameAndPassword);

    // And here you can use the client.GetMessage() method to get a desired message. 
    // You can iterate all the messages and check properties on each of them. 
}

The hotmailHostName should be "pop3.live.com".
The pop3Port should be 995.
The useSsl should be true.
