How to get Body of the email using c++ builder - c++

Question

I want to get the email body from my Gmail account for an email so i use this code i found it in an example for how to read emails using c++ builder pop3
the code to extract body used
TIdText *EText;
int message = SpinEdit1->Value;
MyPoP3->Retrieve(message, MyEmail);
Edit1->Text = MyEmail->Subject + " | " + MyEmail->From->Address;
Memo1->Clear();
for (int i = 0; i < MyEmail->MessageParts->Count; i++) {
Memo1->Lines->Add(MyEmail->MessageParts->Items[i]->ContentType);
EText = dynamic_cast<TIdText*>(MyEmail->MessageParts->Items[i]);
Memo1->Lines->Add(EText->Body);
}
the problem is that i got undefine symbol to TidText and what i tried is to change it from TIdText to TIdMessage, but i got that i can't convert to it.
also i tried to try this without loop or something MyEmail->Body->Text
this return empty string.
the video i got this code from it here i don't know maybe the c++ builder he use is old. now i want to know how to extract the body text from the email address.
Thanks in advance.

the problem is that i got undefine symbol to TidText
Your code is missing an #include <IdText.hpp> statement.
what i tried is to change it from TIdText to TIdMessage, but i got that i can't convert to it.
Because TIdMessage does not contain nested TIdMessage objects.
also i tried to try this without loop or something MyEmail->Body->Text this return empty string.
If your email is MIME encoded, its text is not stored in the TIdMessage::Body property, but in a nested TIdText object within the TIdMessage::MessageParts collection. You have to look at the TIdMessage::ContentType property to know what kind of structure the email contains. For instance, if the CT begins with text/, the text is in the TIdMessage::Body. But if the CT begins with multipart/, the text is somewhere in the TIdMessage::MessageParts instead.
You should read this blog article on Indy's website for an example of how emails might be structured:

No, it is not.
