Hi,

quick hint without reading your code: do you have permissions to read
the mailbox?
Or, are you really reading the mailbox you think you are reading?

Usually services run under SYSTEM account, so you may have to change
it to run under
you user account to read your mails. Alternatively, you can use runas
command to exec script under different account.
