How to get UID from ActiveUp.Net.Mail.Message or how to search by MessageId?

I want to search and delete messages with ActiveUp.Net.Mail library on IMAP4 service. I don't know how to get UID from ActiveUp.Net.Mail.Message or how to search mailbox with selected folder if I know MessageId.

Of course I have previously fetched messages so I know its MessageId.

Best Regards.

I know it's too late but I faced the same problem today so, maybe there are other people still looking for the answer. Here is the solution that worked for me:

// Select the Mailbox you want to query
Mailbox Inbox = _client.SelectMailbox("Inbox");

for (int x=Inbox.MessageCount; x>0; x--)
{
    Message email = Inbox.Fetch.MessageObject(x);
    ProcessEmail(email, x);
}

Basically the messageOrdinal is the index of the mail (for example: the position in the gmail Inbox), but you have to keep the reference by yourself because ActiveUp.Net.Mail.Message won't provide any function to retrieve it.

In the ProcessEmail function you will receive the messageOrdinal as input parameter:

public void ProcessEmail(Message email, int messageOrdinal)
{
    //...
}
