Get mail from folder within Inbox - EWS

I want to access emails in a folder called "ITServiceDesk" in my exchange inbox.

I can access the folder but i cant figure out how to read the mail inside that folder.

I am accessing the folder here: 

            var view = new FolderView(100);
            view.Traversal = FolderTraversal.Deep;
            var fileview = new ItemView(100);
            var filter = new SearchFilter.IsEqualTo(FolderSchema.DisplayName, "ITServiceDesk");

            // Read 100 mails
            foreach (var item in _service.FindFolders(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, filter, view))
            {
                MessageBox.Show(item.DisplayName);
                foreach (EmailMessage email in _service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, filter, fileview))
                {
                    email.Load(new PropertySet(EmailMessageSchema.ConversationTopic, ItemSchema.Attachments,
                        ItemSchema.TextBody));
                    MessageBox.Show(email.ConversationTopic);
                    MessageBox.Show(email.TextBody);
                }
            }

Nothing happens when i get inside the second foreach loop. The message box shows that it can find the folder as the item.displayname is correct.

If you are finding the folder with you code then just call the findItem method on the Folder object that is returned eg

                foreach (var Folder in _service.FindFolders(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, filter, view))
            {                   
                MessageBox.Show(Folder.DisplayName);

                foreach (EmailMessage email in Folder.FindItems(fileview))
                {
                    email.Load(new PropertySet(EmailMessageSchema.ConversationTopic, ItemSchema.Attachments,
                        ItemSchema.TextBody));
                    MessageBox.Show(email.ConversationTopic);
                    MessageBox.Show(email.TextBody);
                }
            }

Here is an example from my website:

FindItemsResults<Item> findResults 
                    = service.FindItems(WellKnownFolderName.Inbox, new ItemView( 10 ) );

foreach ( Item item in findResults.Items )
   Console.WriteLine( item.Subject );
