Go Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Download an IMAP Message Set

Demonstrates how to read a set of IMAP emails. Go

    success := false

    //  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    //  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    imap := chilkat.NewImap()

    //  Connect using TLS.
    imap.SetSsl(true)
    imap.SetPort(993)
    success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        return
    }

    //  Authenticate
    success = imap.Login("email_account_login","email_account_password")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        return
    }

    //  Select an IMAP mailbox
    success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        return
    }

    //  Search for messages with the word "test" in the subject.
    fetchUids := true

    messageSet := chilkat.NewMessageSet()
    success = imap.QueryMbx("Subject test",fetchUids,messageSet)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        messageSet.DisposeMessageSet()
        return
    }

    //  Download the messages in a single call to FetchMsgSet.
    //  
    //  This only makes sense if the number of emails to be downloaded is not too large.  
    //  For example, you wouldn't want to download 10000 emails in a single call to FetchMsgSet.
    //  Why? For two reasons:  (1) It could potentially cause an out-of-memory condition, and 
    //  (2) it would take an extremely large amount of time.  The longer the amount of time,
    //  the greater the likelihood of some kind of external networking or server problem occuring,
    //  and if it happens, then you would need to re-download everything from the beginning again.
    //  For large numbers of emails, it's better to loop over the emails in the message set
    //  and download/process one at a time as shown here: Download IMAP Messages One at a Time
    //  Downloading one message at a time makes it possible to resume the downloads rather than restart the entire operation all over again.

    //  If the message set is reasonable in size, you can download all at once using FetchMsgSet:

    fmt.Println("Number of messages = ", messageSet.Count())

    bundle := chilkat.NewEmailBundle()
    headersOnly := false
    success = imap.FetchMsgSet(headersOnly,messageSet,bundle)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        messageSet.DisposeMessageSet()
        bundle.DisposeEmailBundle()
        return
    }

    //  Display the Subject and From of each email.
    email := chilkat.NewEmail()
    i := 0
    numEmails := bundle.MessageCount()
    for i < numEmails {
        bundle.EmailAt(i,email)

        fmt.Println(*email.GetHeaderField("Date"))
        fmt.Println(email.Subject())
        fmt.Println(email.From())
        fmt.Println("--")
        i = i + 1
    }
