Callback

The 'callback' parameter specifies a function which will be called when the operation completes (or an error is encountered). If the 'callback' parameter is not specified, then the method will block and will not return until the operation completes (or an error is encountered).

The callback for the getMessageUID([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err, data){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'data' is the value returned by the method.

The callback for the setMessageUID([callback]) method is defined as:

function(err){ }

'err' is the error that occurred. If there was no error, then 'err' is 'null'.

'err' has 2 properties which hold detailed information:

err.code
err.message

Remarks

This property contains the unique identifier of the message as specified by the server. If the class is not connected, or MessageNumber does not contain a valid message number, the value of this property is an empty string. Otherwise, it contains the UID of the mail message as reported by the server.

The MailServer is asked about the UID of the message only if the MessageNumber property has changed. If MessageNumber has not changed, the class returns a cached value.

This property is read-only.
