Imap.GetMailSize vs Email.Size

Shows how to get the total size of an email, as well as the sizes of the attachments. This can be done when either full-emails or headers-only are downloaded. PowerShell

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

#  Login
$success = $imap.Login("****","****")
if ($success -eq $false) {

    exit
}

#  Select an IMAP mailbox
$success = $imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")

#  When downloading headers, each email object contains
#  (obviously) the headers, but the body will be missing.
#  Attachments will not be included.  However, it is
#  possible to get information about the attachments
#  as well as the complete size of the email.
$bundle = New-Object Chilkat.EmailBundle
$headersOnly = $true
$success = $imap.FetchMsgSet($headersOnly,$messageSet,$bundle)

}

#  Loop over the email objects and display information about each:
$email = New-Object Chilkat.Email
$i = 0
$j = 0
$numEmails = $bundle.MessageCount
while ($i -lt $numEmails) {
    $bundle.EmailAt($i,$email)

    #  Display the From and Subject
    $($email.From)
    $($email.Subject)

    #  Display the recipients:
    $j = 0
    while ($j -lt $email.NumTo) {
        $("TO: " + $email.GetToName($j) + ", " + $email.GetToAddr($j))

        $j = $j + 1
    }

    #  Show the total size of the email, including body and attachments:
    $($email.Size)

    #  When a full email is downloaded, we would use the
    #  email.NumAttachments property in conjunction with the
    #  email.GetMailAttach* methods.
    #  However, when an email object contains only the header,
    #  we need to access the attachment info differently:
    $numAttach = $imap.GetMailNumAttach($email)
    $j = 0
    while ($j -lt $numAttach) {
        $($imap.GetMailAttachFilename($email,$j))
        $attachSize = $imap.GetMailAttachSize($email,$j)
        $("    size = " + $attachSize + " bytes")
        $j = $j + 1
    }

    $("--")

    $i = $i + 1
}

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