This sample is very close to 2nd sample in DownloadEnvelopesEx(Int64, Boolean, EnvelopeParts, Int32, String, String) topic (that sample gets HTML and plain-text bodies of all messages in the inbox). This sample gets only first 300 bytes of each plain-text and HTML body (i.e. preview).
This text body preview is not related to bodyPreviewSizes. bodyPreviewSizes specifies how much raw body to download. This raw body may contain lots of technical data like MIME boundaries and MIME part headers. Thus, you won't get much of useful information with bodyPreviewSizes unless all your e-mails are simple and their raw body part is the same as their text part. In contrast, the example below accurately extracts exactly HTML and text body preview.
