How to read emails via the IMAP protocol?
To read emails via the IMAP protocol without using a messaging software: - Retrieve the parameters for connecting to your messaging server. These parameters are supplied by your Internet service provider or by your network administrator.
- Declare an emailIMAPSession variable and initialize it with the parameters retrieved beforehand.
- Connect to the messaging server with EmailStartIMAPSession.
- Perform a loop to read the emails from the beginning from the end by using EmailReadFirst and EmailReadNext. The Email.Out variable is set to:
- True if there is no message to read.
- False otherwise.
- Use an Email variable to retrieve the content of email that was read.
- Close the IMAP session by using EmailCloseSession.
Browsing emails via a FOR EACH loop
MyMessage is Email
MyIMAPSession is emailIMAPSession
// Start a simple IMAP session
MyIMAPSession.ServerAddress = "imap.mycompany.us"
MyIMAPSession.Name = "user"
MyIMAPSession.Password = "secret"
// Start the IMAP session
IF NOT EmailStartSession(MyIMAPSession) THEN
// Error starting the IMAP session
Error("Unable to start the IMAP session.", ErrorInfo()
ELSE
// Read the messages
FOR EACH MyMessage NOT READ OF MyIMAPSession
// Process the message read
Trace(MyMessage.Subject, MyMessage.Sender, MyMessage.Message)
END
// Disconnect from the session
EmailCloseSession(MyIMAPSession)
END
Browsing emails via a WHILE loop
MyMessage is Email
MyIMAPSession is emailIMAPSession
// Start a simple IMAP session
MyIMAPSession.ServerAddress = "imap.mycompany.us"
MyIMAPSession.Name = "user"
MyIMAPSession.Password = "secret"
// Start the IMAP session
IF NOT EmailStartSession(MyIMAPSession) THEN
// Error starting the IMAP session
Error("Unable to start the IMAP session.", ErrorInfo()
ELSE
// Read the messages
EmailReadFirst(MyIMAPSession, MyMessage)
WHILE NOT Email.Out
// Process the message read
Trace(MyMessage.Subject, MyMessage.Sender, MyMessage.Message)
// Read the next message
EmailReadNext(MyIMAPSession, MyMessage)
END
// Disconnect from the session
EmailCloseSession(MyIMAPSession)
END
