How to get outlook mail notification in c

To receive Outlook mail notifications in C#, you'll need to use the Microsoft Outlook Object Library and the Microsoft Outlook Interop Assembly. Here's a step-by-step guide to help you achieve this:

Prerequisites:

Install Microsoft Outlook on your system.
Install the Microsoft Outlook Object Library and the Microsoft Outlook Interop Assembly using the following commands:
```
regsvr32 "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"
regasm "C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE"
```
Step 1: Create a new C# project

Create a new C# project in Visual Studio and add a reference to the Microsoft Outlook Interop Assembly. You can do this by right-clicking on the project in the Solution Explorer, selecting "Add Reference", and then browsing to the location where you installed the Interop Assembly (e.g., C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\root\Office16\OUTLOOK.EXE).

Step 2: Import the Outlook namespace

In your C# code, import the Outlook namespace:

using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;

Step 3: Create an Outlook application object

Create an instance of the Outlook application object:

Outlook.Application outlookApp = new Outlook.Application();

Step 4: Set up event handling

To receive mail notifications, you need to set up event handling for the NewMailEx event, which is fired whenever a new email arrives. You can do this by creating an event handler method and attaching it to the NewMailEx event:

outlookApp.NewMailEx += new Outlook.ApplicationEvents_11_NewMailExEventHandler(OnNewMail);

void OnNewMail(string EntryID)
{
    // Handle the new mail notification here
    Console.WriteLine("New mail received!");
}

Step 5: Start the Outlook application

Start the Outlook application using the Start method:

outlookApp.Start();

Step 6: Run the application

Run the application, and it will start listening for new mail notifications. Whenever a new email arrives, the OnNewMail method will be called, and you can handle the notification accordingly.

Here's the complete code:

using Outlook = Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook;

class OutlookMailNotification
{
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {
        Outlook.Application outlookApp = new Outlook.Application();

        outlookApp.NewMailEx += new Outlook.ApplicationEvents_11_NewMailExEventHandler(OnNewMail);

        outlookApp.Start();

        Console.ReadLine();
    }

    static void OnNewMail(string EntryID)
    {
        Console.WriteLine("New mail received!");
    }
}

Note that this code assumes you have Outlook installed on your system and that you have the necessary permissions to access the Outlook application. Additionally, this code uses the NewMailEx event, which is only available in Outlook 2007 and later versions. If you're using an earlier version of Outlook, you may need to use a different event or approach.
