Go Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Mark IMAP Email as Read/Unread (Seen/Unseen)

Demonstrates how to mark emails as read or unread. Go

    success := false

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

    imap := chilkat.NewImap()

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

    //  Login
    success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
    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
    }

    //  Set PeekMode so that downloaded messages are not
    //  automatically marked as seen.
    imap.SetPeekMode(true)

    //  The NumMessages property contains the number of messages 
    //  in the currently selected mailbox.
    numMsgs := imap.NumMessages()
    if numMsgs == 0 {
        imap.DisposeImap()
        return
    }

    email := chilkat.NewEmail()
    var i int
    for i = 1; i <= numMsgs; i++ {
        //  Download each email by sequence number (not UID)
        success = imap.FetchEmail(false,i,false,email)
        if success == false {
            fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
            imap.DisposeImap()
            email.DisposeEmail()
            return
        }

        //  If desired, mark the email as SEEN.  There are two
        //  ways to do it:

        //  1) Set the flag directly by using the sequence number
        //  Indicate that we are passing a sequence number and
        //  not a UID:
        bIsUid := false
        //  Set the SEEN flag = 1 to mark the email as SEEN,
        //  or set it to 0 to mark it as not-seen.
        success = imap.SetFlag(i,bIsUid,"SEEN",1)
        if success == false {
            fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
            imap.DisposeImap()
            email.DisposeEmail()
            return
        }

        //  2) Alternatively, we can use the email object.
        //  When an email is downloaded from the IMAP server
        //  Chilkat will add a "ckx-imap-uid" header to the email.
        //  This makes it possible to know the UID associated with
        //  the email.  (This is not the sequence number, which may change
        //  from session to session, but the UID which does not change.
        //  The SetMailFlag method is identical to SetFlag, except
        //  it gets the UID from the ckx-imap-uid header.
        //  For example:
        success = imap.SetMailFlag(email,"SEEN",1)
        if success == false {
            fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
            imap.DisposeImap()
            email.DisposeEmail()
            return
        }

    }

    //  Disconnect from the IMAP server.
    success = imap.Disconnect()

    imap.DisposeImap()
    email.DisposeEmail()
