Delete e-mail from server using ReceiveMail

[ssimop]

Dear Gintaras,

I understand that ReceiveMail may be used to delete messages from server, using flag 2. I am wondering whether it is possible to confirm each individual e-mail before it is deleted, since it seems that ReceiveMail deletes as a whole.

Is it likely that statement in Pop3Mail.RetrieveMessages

if(mc and flags&2) for(i 1 mc.Count+1) p.DeleteMessage(i)

has to be modified accordingly?

Many thanks. Best regards!

Yes. Clone Pop3Mail.RetrieveMessages to Pop3Mail.RetrieveMessages2 and modify the p.DeleteMessage line.
Or without cloning:
Pop3Mail p.Connect(...)
MailBee.Messages mc=p.RetrieveMessages() ;;no flag 2
if(mc) for(i 1 mc.Count+1) p.DeleteMessage(i)
p.Disconnect

Many thanks. I have already found it, Perfect!

Nevertheless, p.DeleteMessage(i) in the above example gives error. Therefore, I used the example given in QM "Email samples, namely :".


Macro temp2

Code:

Copy      Help

Pop3Mail pp.Connect(0x100 "...")
MailBee.Message mm; int i
for i 1 pp.p.MessageCount+1
,mm=pp.p.RetrieveSingleMessageHeaders(i 0) ;;this is MailBee.POP3 object's function
,out mm.Subject
,;pp.p.DeleteMessage(i) ;;use this to delete message from server
pp.Disconnect

Best Regards

Dear Gintaras,

I would appreciate it if you could kindly elaborate a bit on 0x200 flag (process events) of ReceiveMail family of routines. An example will be highly appreciated.

Many thanls in advance.

While receiving email, process Windows messages and COM events.
Use this flag, for example, when calling this function in a thread with a dialog. Without it the dialog hangs temporarily.
Also, the MailBee.POP3 object (member variable p) will fire COM events itself.
Flag 0x100 also does the same.
