Imap imp = new Imap();
imp.Connect("mail.domain.com");
imp.Login("jdoe", "secret");
imp.SelectFolder("Inbox");
MailMessage msg = imp.DownloadEntireMessage(imp.MessageCount, false);
msg.Parser.HtmlToPlainMode = HtmlToPlainAutoConvert.IfNoPlain;
Console.WriteLine(msg.BodyPlainText);
imp.Disconnect();
