@alibardisk,

You can use the following code to extract messages from MBox file and check if it is read or not?

// Open the storage file with FileStream
FileStream stream = new FileStream(dataDir + "ExampleMbox.mbox", FileMode.Open, FileAccess.Read);
// Create an instance of the MboxrdStorageReader class and pass the stream
MboxrdStorageReader reader = new MboxrdStorageReader(stream, false);
// Start reading messages
MailMessage message = reader.ReadNextMessage();

// Read all messages in a loop
while (message != null)
{
    // Manipulate message - show contents
    Console.WriteLine("Subject: " + message.Subject);

    Console.WriteLine(message.IsDraft);

    // Get the next message
    message = reader.ReadNextMessage();
}
// Close the streams
reader.Dispose();
stream.Close();

Use the code sample in section Get Current Message Size section to read the size of message extracted from the MBox.

@alibardisk,

There is no such information available in MailMessage that can get you this information. You need to convert the message to MapiMessage and check its message flags for read/unread information.

bool isread = (mapi.Flags & MapiMessageFlags.MSGFLAG_READ) == MapiMessageFlags.MSGFLAG_READ;
