StartByte Property

The byte index of the position where the transfer should start.

Syntax

 imap.getStartByte([callback])
 imap.setStartByte( startByte, [callback])

Default Value

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 getStartByte([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 setStartByte([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

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

When StartByte or EndByte contain values other than the defaults (0), only the corresponding portion of the message part 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.

This property is not available at design time.
