Delete IMAP Email

To delete an email, the "Deleted" flag must be set to 1 for each message to be deleted. You must also call Expunge or ExpungeAndClose to remove the emails marked as deleted. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

# This example deletes email matching a criteria from Inbox.
$imap = chilkat::CkImap->new();

# Turn on session logging:
$imap->put_KeepSessionLog(1);

# Connect to an IMAP server.
# Use TLS
$imap->put_Ssl(1);
$imap->put_Port(993);
$success = $imap->Connect("imap.example.com");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Login
$success = $imap->Login("myLogin","myPassword");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Select an IMAP mailbox
$success = $imap->SelectMailbox("Inbox");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$fetchUids = 1;
# Get the message IDs for all emails having "FTP2" in the subject.
$messageSet = chilkat::CkMessageSet->new();
$success = $imap->QueryMbx("SUBJECT FTP2",$fetchUids,$messageSet);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Set the Deleted flag for each message:
$success = $imap->SetFlags($messageSet,"Deleted",1);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Expunge and close the mailbox.
$success = $imap->ExpungeAndClose();
if ($success == 0) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Display the session log.
print $imap->sessionLog() . "\r\n";

# Disconnect from the IMAP server.
$success = $imap->Disconnect();
