Imap

Hi I'm trying a windows service that fetches the contents of the mails from my inbox and saves them in a database using IMAP protocol. I've fetched the contents of the mail body using the IMAP command "1 UID FETCH 756 BODY[1]\r\n", where 756 is message UID.

How can I fetch the attachments so that i can save the attachments in a specific location and i can use them later.

I've tried a lot to find this but i couldn't get. Few articles gave me an idea to fetch the attachments as an encoded file(Encoded in Base64 format), which i couldn't use.

further,

How does the attachments getting stored in the exchange server. Does it have a URL to access.

If so, is there a way to find the URL of the attachment being stored in the exchange server? So that I can fetch or download them to save it.

Thanks in advance,
Kathir

I think when you say BODY you only get part of the message?
I didn't think IMAP distinguished between "email body" and "attachment" though, since there's really not a difference at that level, it should be up to the client application to decipher out the attachments?
Have checked the RFCs on IMAP?
