Hello,
I am reading a gmail account which has a message with a 3.4MB size attachment.
Its size is read by mailbee 7.0 as 4.8MB.
I recall that the documentation states that size is estimated, but this is a big difference. Could it be due to something else?
Thanks

Is my understanding correct that attachment is 3.4MB but the message itself is 4.8MB in total? If yes, that's a normal thing as attachments are encoded which makes messages grow in size substantially. This doesn't depend on mail server or client used.

It is the size of the ImapBodyStructure part, so I think it's the attachment's size.
Please have a look at the screen shots:

According to the documentation page, ImapBodyStructure.Size property returns size of MIME part in encoded state. Thus, looks like the behavior matches the expected one.

So in this specific scenario, how exactly do I retrieve the attached file size?
Can I test if it's base64 and if so, divide it by 1.33 ?

As long as this is about attachment size, Attachment.Size property should be used.
