(JavaScript) Forward by Attaching the Existing Email to a New Email

Demonstrates how to forward an email by attaching the email to a new email.

This example reads an email from an IMAP server, attaches the email to a new email, and sends the new email.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

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

// Read the 1st (most recent) email in an Inbox.
var imap = new CkImap();

// Connect to an IMAP server.
imap.Ssl = true;
imap.Port = 993;
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var numEmails = imap.NumMessages;

// Fetch the email at the last sequence number.
// (We are assuming the Inbox has at least 1 email)

var email = new CkEmail();
success = imap.FetchEmail(false,numEmails,false,email);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
imap.Disconnect();

console.log(email.Subject);

// Create a new email.  The email we just read will be attached to this email.
var eForward = new CkEmail();

eForward.AddTo("Joe","joe@example.com");

eForward.FromAddress = "matt@somewhere.com";
eForward.FromName = "Matt";

eForward.SetHtmlBody("<p>Hello, this is an email I'm forwarding to you.  See the attached email.</p>");

// Attach the email.
eForward.AttachEmail(email);

// We could save the .eml, then double-click on it to view in our mail program, such as Outlook or Thunderbird..
eForward.SaveEml("qa_output/forward.eml");

// We could send (forward) the email..
