Set a Single Flag on One IMAP Message

See more IMAP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Imap.SetFlag method, which sets or clears a single flag on one message identified by ID. The first argument is the message ID, the second (bUid) selects UID vs sequence number, the third is the flag name, and the fourth is the value (1 to set, 0 to clear). This example flags one message as Deleted and then calls Expunge to permanently remove it.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.
