(Ruby) Transition from Imap.Sort to Imap.QueryMbx

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated Sort method calls with QueryMbx.

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

Chilkat Ruby Downloads install from rubygems.org gem install chilkat or download... Ruby Library for Windows, MacOS, Linux, Alpine Linux

require 'chilkat'

imap = Chilkat::CkImap.new()

# ...
# ...

searchCriteria = "FROM bob@example.com"
bUid = true
sortCriteria = "DATE SUBJECT"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The Sort method is deprecated:

# msgSetObj is a CkMessageSet
msgSetObj = imap.Sort(sortCriteria,"utf-8",searchCriteria,bUid)
if (imap.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using QueryMbx.
# Your application creates a new, empty MessageSet object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

# The following properties are used instead of function arguments.
imap.put_SortCriteria("DATE SUBJECT")
imap.put_SearchCharset("utf-8")

mset = Chilkat::CkMessageSet.new()
success = imap.QueryMbx(searchCriteria,bUid,mset)
if (success == false)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end
