You can get the body from your client, in the same way, you are getting the summary.

You can get sync or async, but using the same index. I paste here the link in the documentation. GetBodyPart

var items = client.Inbox.Fetch (uids, MessageSummaryItems.UniqueId | MessageSummaryItems.BodyStructure);

foreach (var item in items) {
     // determine a directory to save stuff in
     var directory = Path.Combine (baseDirectory, item.UniqueId.ToString ());

     // create the directory
     Directory.CreateDirectory (directory);

     // IMessageSummary.TextBody is a convenience property that finds the 'text/plain' body part for us
     var bodyPart = item.TextBody;

     // download the 'text/plain' body part
     var body = (TextPart) client.Inbox.GetBodyPart (item.UniqueId, bodyPart);

     // TextPart.Text is a convenience property that decodes the content and converts the result to
     // a string for us
     var text = body.Text;
}

You need to know the UID(s) and/or indexes of the message(s) that you want to download. That's all `uids` represents in this example. `baseDirectory` represents the local directory on your hard disk where you want to save these message bodies. It's just an example. – jstedfast Nov 25 '19 at 20:54
A more complete example can be found here: http://www.mimekit.net/docs/html/M_MailKit_IMailFolder_GetBodyPart.htm – jstedfast Nov 25 '19 at 20:55
I just paste an example, you need to check it with your own data/code. Sorry if was confusing. – SirMartin Nov 26 '19 at 08:05
