Class Imap

public class Imap

extends java.lang.Object

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

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

The first step in using the bean 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 bean'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 via the bean's methods. The main arguments for most commands is the Mailbox property or 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 , MessageFlags , etc.

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

The MessagePart event describes the MIME structure of 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 FetchMessagePart 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.

getTimeout

public int getTimeout()

A timeout for the bean.

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 bean will wait for the operation to complete before returning control.

The bean 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 bean throws an IPWorksException raises an IPWorksException exception .

Please note that by default, all timeouts are inactivity timeouts , i.e. the timeout period is extended by Timeout seconds when data is successfully sent or received.

Optionally, the behaviour of the bean may be changed to absolute timeouts , i.e. the bean will wait for a maximum of Timeout seconds since the beginning of the operation, without extending the timeout period during communications.

This behavior is controlled by theAbsoluteTimeoutconfiguration setting.

The default value for the Timeout property is 60 (seconds).
