SearchMailbox Method

Search selected mailbox for specified text.

Syntax

[VB.NET]
Public Sub SearchMailbox(ByVal SearchCriteria As String)
[C#]
public void SearchMailbox(string searchCriteria);

Remarks

This method searches the selected mailbox using the criteria specified in the SearchCriteria parameter. For every message matching the criteria, the FetchMessageInfo method is called and a MessageInfo event is fired.

The exact format of the search criteria is specified by the IMAP RFCs. The string consists of one or more search keys and their corresponding values (if any) separated by spaces, for example: "SINCE 1-Feb-1994 NOT FROM Smith".

Possible search keys include:

<message set>Messages with message sequence numbers corresponding to the specified message sequence number set
ALLAll messages in the mailbox - this is the default initial key for AND-ing.
ANSWEREDMessages with the \Answered flag set.
BCC <string>Messages that contain the specified string in the envelope structure's BCC field.
BEFORE <date>Messages whose internal date is earlier than the specified date.
BODY <string> Messages that contain the specified string in the body of the message.
CC <string> Messages that contain the specified string in the envelope structure's CC field.
DELETED Messages with the \Deleted flag set.
DRAFT Messages with the \Draft flag set.
FLAGGED Messages with the \Flagged flag set.
FROM <string> Messages that contain the specified string in the envelope structure's FROM field.
HEADER <field-name> <string> Messages that have a header with the specified field-name (as defined in [RFC-822]) and that contains the specified string in the [RFC-822] field-body.
KEYWORD <flag> Messages with the specified keyword set.
LARGER <n> Messages with an RFC822.SIZE larger than the specified number of octets.
NEW Messages that have the \Recent flag set but not the \Seen flag. This is functionally equivalent to "(RECENT UNSEEN)".
NOT <search-key> Messages that do not match the specified search key.

OR <search-key1> <search-key2> Messages that match either search key.
RECENT Messages that have the \Recent flag set.
