(Visual FoxPro) Fetch 1st N Headers of Search Results

Calls Search to get a message set, then downloads the 1st N messages in the message set. There are two equivalent ways of doing it: (1) iterate from 0 to N-1 and download each message individually, or (2) create a new message set that contains the 1st N messages and pass it to FetchHeaders. Both are demonstrated here.

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

loImap = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Imap')

* Connect to an IMAP server.
* Use TLS
loImap.Ssl = 1
loImap.Port = 993
lnSuccess = loImap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Login
lnSuccess = loImap.Login("****","****")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Select an IMAP mailbox
lnSuccess = loImap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
lnFetchUids = 1
* Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
loMessageSet = loImap.Search("ALL",lnFetchUids)
IF (loImap.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

lnNumFound = loMessageSet.Count
IF (lnNumFound = 0) THEN
    ? "No messages found."
    RELEASE loMessageSet
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Get the 1st 10 messages in messageSet.
lnUpperBound = 10
IF (lnNumFound < lnUpperBound) THEN
    lnUpperBound = lnNumFound
ENDIF

i = 0
lnBUid = loMessageSet.HasUids
DO WHILE i < lnUpperBound

    loEmail = loImap.FetchSingleHeader(loMessageSet.GetId(i),lnBUid)
    IF (loImap.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
        ? loImap.LastErrorText
        RELEASE loMessageSet
        RELEASE loImap
        CANCEL

    ELSE
        * Do whatever is needed with the email.. 
        * ....

        RELEASE loEmail
    ENDIF

    i = i + 1
ENDDO

* Alternatively, create a new message set containing the 1st 10 message id's (UID's) 
* from the search results message set:
loFirstTen = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.MessageSet')

FOR i = 0 TO lnUpperBound - 1
    loFirstTen.InsertId(loMessageSet.GetId(i))
NEXT

RELEASE loMessageSet

* Download the 1st ten headers:

loBundle = loImap.FetchHeaders(loFirstTen)
IF (loImap.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    RELEASE loFirstTen
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    RELEASE loFirstTen
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Other examples show how to iterate over the emails contained within the bundle...

* Disconnect from the IMAP server.
lnSuccess = loImap.Disconnect()
