Sorting Email

Demonstrates how to sort an email bundle. C#

bool success = false;

//  This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
//  See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Imap imap = new Chilkat.Imap();

//  Connect to the IMAP server.
//  Use TLS
imap.Ssl = true;
imap.Port = 993;
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

bool fetchUids = true;
Chilkat.MessageSet messageSet = new Chilkat.MessageSet();
success = imap.QueryMbx("ALL",fetchUids,messageSet);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Fetch the email headers into a bundle object:
Chilkat.EmailBundle bundle = new Chilkat.EmailBundle();
bool headersOnly = true;
success = imap.FetchMsgSet(headersOnly,messageSet,bundle);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Sort the email bundle by date, recipient, sender, or subject:
bool ascending = true;
bundle.SortByDate(ascending);

//  To sort by recipient, sender, or subject, call 
//  SortBySender, SortByRecipient, or SortBySubject.

//  Display the Subject and From of each email.
Chilkat.Email email = new Chilkat.Email();
int i = 0;
while (i < bundle.MessageCount) {
    bundle.EmailAt(i,email);

    Debug.WriteLine(email.GetHeaderField("Date"));
    Debug.WriteLine(email.Subject);
    Debug.WriteLine(email.From);
    Debug.WriteLine("--");

    i = i + 1;
}

//  Disconnect from the IMAP server.
success = imap.Disconnect();
