Stored procedures
Reads the header of the email found before the current email:
  • POP3 or IMAP protocol: the e-mail is stored in the mailbox on the mail server.
  • WINDEV or via Lotus Notes or Outlook e-mail software: the e-mail received is present on the local workstation in the Lotus Notes or Outlook inbox.
The various variables of the email structure (or the variable of type Email) corresponding to the message header are filled in.
This function is useful when reading the email is linked to the message size for example.
The Email.Out variable is set to True if no email is found.
Reminder: Before reading an email, it is necessary to open a session with the EmailStartSession, EmailStartNotesSession or EmailStartOutlookSession function.
Java The POP3 protocol can only be used to read emails.
Example
// Deletes the emails sent by "black-listed" senders
// Browse the emails
// Read the header only
// (to save bandwidth)
// If the email is "black-listed", delete it
// Then, the "authorized" emails can be read
// later on
IF EmailReadLastHeader(MyPOPSession) THEN
LOOP
// Is the sender "black listed"?
IF BlackListedSender(Email.SenderAddress) OR ...
BlackListedSender(Email.Sender) THEN
EmailDeleteMessage(MyPOPSession)
END
DO WHILE EmailReadPreviousHeader(MyPOPSession)
END
