Determine the Number of Unseen Email MessagesDemonstrates how to determine how many unseen messages exist in an email account on an IMAP server. require 'chilkat' imap = Chilkat::CkImap.new() # Anything unlocks the component and begins a fully-functional 30-day trial. success = imap.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial") if (success != true) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n" exit end # Connect to an IMAP server. success = imap.Connect("mail.chilkatsoft.com") if (success != true) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n" exit end # Login success = imap.Login("***","***") if (success != true) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n" exit end # Select an IMAP mailbox success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox") if (success != true) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n" exit end # After selecting the mailbox. the total number of emails # is immediately available: totalNum = imap.get_NumMessages() print totalNum.to_s() + "\n"; # To determine the number of unseen messages, a call # to Search is required, which returns the set of UIDs # of all unseen messages. # We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers. fetchUids = true messageSet = imap.Search("UNSEEN",fetchUids) if (messageSet == nil ) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n" exit end numUnseen = messageSet.get_Count() print numUnseen.to_s() + "\n"; print "UIDs ----" + "\n"; # Display the UIDs for i in 0 .. messageSet.get_Count() - 1 msgId = messageSet.GetId(i) print msgId.to_s() + "\n"; end # Disconnect from the IMAP server. imap.Disconnect() |
