IMAP Module

Properties   Methods   Events   Config Settings   Errors  

The IMAP Module is used to communicate with IMAP servers using the Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP).

Syntax

IPWorksEDI.IMAP

Remarks

The IMAP Class supports both plaintext and Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) connections (RFC 2595). When connecting over Secure Sockets Layer/Transport Layer Security (SSL/TLS) the SSLServerAuthentication event allows you to check the server identity and other security attributes. The SSLStatus event provides information about the SSL handshake. Additional SSL-related settings are also supported through the Config method.

The IMAP Class implements a standard IMAP client as specified in RFC 1730 and RFC 2060.

The first step in using the class is specifying a MailServer, a User to connect as, and a Password to authenticate with. After that, one or more requests may be sent to the server via the class's methods. Results are retrieved through events and a number of key properties.

Normally, after connecting to the server, a Mailbox is selected (or examined) using the ExamineMailbox method. After the Mailbox is selected, MessageCount and RecentMessageCount show the number of messages in the mailbox, and MailboxFlags show the flags pertaining to the mailbox.

A number of operations may be performed by the server in response to commands sent using the class's methods. The primary arguments for most commands are the Mailbox property and the MessageSet property. The MessageSet property denotes either a single message, or a range of messages. Other arguments are specified through other properties, such as SortCriteria and MessageFlags.

Responses are received through events, such as MessageInfo and MailboxList, and also are reflected to properties, such as MessageText and MessageSubject.

The MessagePart event describes the MIME structure of the retrieved messages. One MessagePart event is fired for every message part, giving information about the particular part. Later on, message parts may be retrieved separately through the RetrieveMessagePart method. This speeds up processing by avoiding the need to retrieve full messages from the server.

The PITrail event traces the interaction between the client and the server. It includes all exchanges except for transfers of messages, message parts, and message headers.

AuthMechanism Property (IMAP Module)

This property includes the authentication mechanism to be used when connecting to the mail server.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var authMechanism: IMAPAuthMechanisms {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

public enum IMAPAuthMechanisms: Int32 {
  case amUserPassword = 0
  case amCRAMMD5 = 1
  case amNTLM = 2
  case amAPOP = 3
  case amSASLPlain = 4

This property contains the name of the local host as obtained by the gethostname() system call, or if the user has assigned an IP address, the value of that address.

In multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface) setting LocalHost to the IP address of an interface will make the class initiate connections (or accept in the case of server classs) only through that interface. It is recommended to provide an IP address rather than a hostname when setting this property to ensure the desired interface is used.

If the class is connected, the LocalHost property shows the IP address of the interface through which the connection is made in internet dotted format (aaa.bbb.ccc.ddd). In most cases, this is the address of the local host, except for multihomed hosts (machines with more than one IP interface).

Remarks

This property contains the number of new messages that are in the Mailbox. The class fills out MessageCount, RecentMessageCount, and MailboxFlags after connecting to the MailServer and selecting or examining a Mailbox.

This property is read-only.

SortCriteria Property (IMAP Module)

This property sorts criteria to use for message retrieval operations.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var sortCriteria: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=sortCriteria,setter=setSortCriteria:) NSString* sortCriteria;

- (NSString*)sortCriteria;
- (void)setSortCriteria :(NSString*)newSortCriteria;

Default Value

""

Remarks

This property sorts criteria to use for message retrieval operations. When set, the class will send the SORT command to the server before any retrieval. If the server supports the SORT command, the results from the retrieve operation will be sorted according to SortCriteria. The format of the SortCriteria property consists of a parenthesized list of one or more sort keys.

Example. Setting SortCriteria:

IMAPControl.SortCriteria = "DATE" IMAPControl.SortCriteria = "SUBJECT FROM" IMAPControl.SortCriteria = "REVERSE SUBJECT"

Possible sort keys include the following:

Note: IMAP SORT functionality is relatively new and not all servers may implement it.

- (long long)startByte;
- (void)setStartByte :(long long)newStartByte;

Default Value

0

Remarks

StartByte and EndByte are used together with the RetrieveMessagePart method to specify the portion of the message to be retrieved from the server.

When StartByte or EndByte contain values other than the default (0), only the corresponding portion of the message is retrieved from the server.

Byte indexes start from 1. The default value for EndByte is 0, which corresponds to the end of the message.

Timeout Property (IMAP Module)

The timeout for the module.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var timeout: Int32 {
  get {...}
  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=timeout,setter=setTimeout:) int timeout;

- (int)timeout;
- (void)setTimeout :(int)newTimeout;

Default Value

60

Remarks

If the Timeout property is set to 0, all operations will run uninterrupted until successful completion or an error condition is encountered.

If Timeout is set to a positive value, the class will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The class will use DoEvents to enter an efficient wait loop during any potential waiting period, making sure that all system events are processed immediately as they arrive. This ensures that the host application does not freeze and remains responsive.

If Timeout expires, and the operation is not yet complete, the class .

Note: By default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts, that is, the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when any amount of data is successfully sent or received.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 seconds.

UIDMode Property (IMAP Module)

  set {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readwrite,assign,getter=UIDMode,setter=setUIDMode:) BOOL UIDMode;

- (BOOL)UIDMode;
- (void)setUIDMode :(BOOL)newUIDMode;

Default Value

False

Remarks

This property indicates if a permanent identifier should be used. Normally, the IMAP server uses temporary message identifiers that are valid only during the current session. If UIDMode is True, permanent message identifiers are used instead.

The following IMAP protocol operations use the UID mode: COPY, FETCH, STORE, and SEARCH.

UIDValidity Property (IMAP Module)

This property includes the UIDValidity parameter sent from the server in response to SelectMailbox command.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var uidValidity: String {
  get {...}
}

@property (nonatomic,readonly,assign,getter=UIDValidity) NSString* UIDValidity;

- (NSString*)UIDValidity;

Default Value

""

Remarks

Every time a mailbox is selected, a UIDValidity is returned from the server. Most of the time, this value will not change from call to call. If it does change, this means that all previously returned UIDs for messages inside this mailbox are now invalid.

This property is read-only.

User Property (IMAP Module)

This property includes the username used to authenticate to the MailServer .

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public var user: String {
  get {...}
  set {...}

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func closeMailbox() throws -> Void

- (void)closeMailbox;

Remarks

This method permanently removes all messages that have a 'Deleted' flag that have been set from the current (selected) mailbox. It then closes (deselected) the mailbox.

Config Method (IMAP Module)

Sets or retrieves a configuration setting.

Syntax

• Swift
• Objective-C

public func config(configurationString: String) throws -> String

- (NSString*)config:(NSString*)configurationString;

Remarks

Config is a generic method available in every class. It is used to set and retrieve configuration settings for the class.

These settings are similar in functionality to properties, but they are rarely used. In order to avoid "polluting" the property namespace of the class, access to these internal properties is provided through the Config method.

To set a configuration setting named PROPERTY, you must call Config("PROPERTY=VALUE"), where VALUE is the value of the setting expressed as a string. For boolean values, use the strings "True", "False", "0", "1", "Yes", or "No" (case does not matter).

To read (query) the value of a configuration setting, you must call Config("PROPERTY"). The value will be returned as a string.

Connect Method (IMAP Module)

Remarks

The Transfer event is fired for every incoming line when receiving a message or part data from the MailServer

The Text parameter contains the portion of the message or the part data being retrieved.

The BytesTransferred parameter contains the number of bytes transferred since the beginning of the message, including header bytes. At the end of transmission (i.e., when the last Transfer event is fired), BytesTransferred equals the value of the MessageSize property.

The Transfer event is fired for every line of the message. There is no terminating newline at the end of the Text parameter. A faster way to retrieve a message is to assign a value to the LocalFile property and use the Transfer event to check the progress only rather than to get the actual data.

The Direction parameter shows whether the client (0) or the server (1) is sending the data.

The PercentDone parameter shows the progress of the transfer in the corresponding direction. If PercentDone can not be calculated the value will be -1.
