MimeKitLite

v4.16.0

MimeKit is an Open Source library for creating and parsing MIME messages. It also supports parsing of Unix mbox files. The difference between MimeKit and MimeKitLite is that MimeKitLite lacks support for most cryptography features such as OpenPGP, S/MIME and DKIM. API documentation can be found on the web at http://www.mimekit.net/docs For those that need SMTP, POP3 or IMAP support, check out https://github.com/jstedfast/MailKit
