Xbase++ Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

IMAP Download All Email One at a Time

Demonstrates how to download every email in an IMAP mailbox one at a time as a MIME string or as an email object. (The MIME contains the full contents of the email including all attachments.) Xbase++

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

//  Connect to an IMAP server.
//  Use TLS

//  Once the mailbox is selected, the NumMessages property
//  will contain the number of messages in the mailbox.
//  You may loop from 1 to NumMessages to
//  fetch each message by sequence number.

nBUid := 0

    //  Download the email by sequence number.
    cMimeStr := oImap:FetchSingleAsMime(i, nBUid)

    //  ... your application may process each MIME string...
NEXT

//  An alternative is to download each email in the form of an
//  email object, like this:
oEmail := CreateObject("Chilkat.Email")
FOR i := 1 TO n

    //  Download the email by sequence number.
    nSuccess := oImap:FetchEmail(0, i, nBUid, oEmail)

    //  ... your application may process the email object...

NEXT

//  Disconnect from the IMAP server.
