MaxLines Property

The maximum number of message lines besides headers to retrieve.

Syntax

 pop.getMaxLines([callback])
 pop.setMaxLines( maxLines, [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 getMaxLines([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 setMaxLines([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 is used to limit the number of text lines besides headers retrieved for messages. It can be used to preview message headers and a portion of their contents, without incurring the overhead of downloading the entire message.

The default value of the property is 0. In this case the entire message will be retrieved, without interruptions. Note: If you are not retrieving the entire message (MaxLines is nonzero), no data will be written to LocalFile.
