Hi,

i am developing an application in which i can read the inbox of my outlook.

my problem is that i am not able to connect mail server and getting 'messaging Exception' as

A remote host did not respond within the time out period .

I think i am not able to give the HOST name correctly .

How can i get the host name and from where?

You can get the hostname by clicking on the account properties in outlook, but the port you connect to must be opened by your system admin.
