The UID, which can be used as the message reference in the client class calls. It's assigned by the protocol.
for Imap UID would be unique for the mailbox. But two different mailboxes can have the same UID. If the message is moved from one mailbox to another UID would be changed.
Message ID comes from the mime-header "Message-ID". It should NOT be used for the mail client class calls. It could be however used to recognize the same message, IF different protocols are used to access the same message.
The subject (title) of the email
The following properties of MailAddress are used to identify
- To - the collection of recipients addresses
- Sender - the sender of the message
- From - the displayed from line. (could be different than Sender)
- ReplyTo - reply to address that should be used when message is "Replied" in the client
- Cc - the collection of carbon-copy address
- Bcc - the collection of blind-carbon-copy address

The body DOES NOT contain the entire raw message. Instead the raw body is being parsed into separate either Attachments or AlternativeView collections. The body would either include the "body" section or the first entry in "multipart/alternative" section of the email.
For the human readable representation, it's better to use the convenience methods of AlternateViews property.
The property is not populated, if the message was received with headersonly flag set to true.
The collection of attachments that were marked as "AlternativeView". Such attachments contain the same message as the body of the email, but are used for a different representation.

Both return an alternative-view attachement with mime type "text/html" and "text/plain" respectively.
The property is not populated, if the message was received with headersonly flag set to true.
The collection of attachments that were not marked as an "AlternativeView", and are treated as (a file) attachments email
