Rust Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Subscribe to Mailboxes and List Subscribed Mailboxes

See more IMAP Examples

Demonstrates how to list subscribed mailboxes, and unsubscribe/subscribe to a mailbox. Rust

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

let imap = chilkat::Imap::new();

// Connect to an IMAP server.
// Use TLS
imap.set_ssl(true);
imap.set_port(993);
if imap.connect("imap.example.com").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Login
if imap.login("myLogin", "myPassword").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// First examine the already subscribed mailboxes.
let ref_name = String::new();
let wildcarded_mailbox = "*".to_string();
let subscribed = true;

let mboxes = chilkat::Mailboxes::new();
if imap.mbx_list(subscribed, &ref_name, &wildcarded_mailbox, &mboxes).is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

let mut i = 0;
while i < mboxes.count() {
    println!("{}", mboxes.get_name(i).unwrap_or_default());
    i = i + 1;
}

println!("----");

// Sample output.

// INBOX
// INBOX/recent
// INBOX/misc
// INBOX/misc/solutions
// ...
// Outbox
// Deleted Items
// Sent Items
// Drafts
// Junk E-mail
// Trash
// Sent
// Templates

// Let's unsubscribe to "INBOX/misc/solutions".
if imap.unsubscribe("INBOX/misc/solutions").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Get the list of subscribed mailboxes again to verify that "INBOX/misc/solutions" is missing.
if imap.mbx_list(subscribed, "", "INBOX/misc*", &mboxes).is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

i = 0;
while i < mboxes.count() {
    println!("{}", mboxes.get_name(i).unwrap_or_default());
    i = i + 1;
}

println!("----");

// Re-subscribe to "INBOX/misc/solutions".
if imap.subscribe("INBOX/misc/solutions").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Get the list of subscribed mailboxes again to verify that "INBOX/misc/solutions" is back in the list.
if imap.mbx_list(subscribed, "", "INBOX/misc*", &mboxes).is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

i = 0;
while i < mboxes.count() {
    println!("{}", mboxes.get_name(i).unwrap_or_default());
    i = i + 1;
}

println!("----");

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
let _ = imap.disconnect().is_ok();
