VBScript Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Fetch Single Email by UID or Sequence Number

Assuming the UID is known, download a single email by UID from an IMAP mail server. VBScript

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True, True)

success = 0

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

set imap = CreateObject("Chilkat.Imap")

'  Connect to an IMAP server.
'  Use TLS
imap.Ssl = 1
imap.Port = 993
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com")
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  Login
success = imap.Login("***","***")
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

set email = CreateObject("Chilkat.Email")

If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  Display the From and Subject
outFile.WriteLine(email.FromAddress)
outFile.WriteLine(email.Subject)

'  Display the Body property, which is the default body.
'  If an email has an HTML body, the Body property contains
'  the HTML source.  Otherwise it contains the plain-text
'  body.
outFile.WriteLine("---- EMAIL BODY ----")
outFile.WriteLine(email.Body)
outFile.WriteLine("--------------------")

'  Display the recipients:

For j = 0 To email.NumTo - 1
    outFile.WriteLine(email.GetToName(j) & ", " & email.GetToAddr(j))
Next
For j = 0 To email.NumCC - 1
    outFile.WriteLine(email.GetCcName(j) & ", " & email.GetCcAddr(j))
Next

'  Show the total size of the email, including body and attachments:
outFile.WriteLine(email.Size)

'  When a full email is downloaded, we would use the
'  email.NumAttachments property in conjunction with the
'  email.GetMailAttach* methods.
'  However, when an email object contains only the header,
'  we need to access the attachment info differently:
numAttach = imap.GetMailNumAttach(email)
outFile.WriteLine(numAttach)

For j = 0 To numAttach - 1
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.GetMailAttachFilename(email,j))
    attachSize = imap.GetMailAttachSize(email,j)
    outFile.WriteLine("    size = " & attachSize & " bytes")
Next

outFile.WriteLine("--")

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

outFile.Close
