This example success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com") if (success == false) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"; exit end # Login success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword") if (success == false) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"; exit end # Select an IMAP mailbox success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox") if (success == false) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"; exit end # Get message ID's for emails older than 1/1/2025 fetchUids = true messageSet = Chilkat::CkMessageSet.new() success = imap.QueryMbx("SENTBEFORE 01-Jan-2025",fetchUids,messageSet) if (success == false) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"; exit end # If desired, we can examine the Subject of each email to be deleted.. email = Chilkat::CkEmail.new() i = 0 count = messageSet.get_Count() headerOnly = true while i < count success = imap.FetchEmail(headerOnly,messageSet.GetId(i),true,email) if (success == false) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"; exit end print email.localDateStr() + "\n"; print email.subject() + "\n"; i = i + 1 end # Set the Deleted flag for each message: success = imap.SetFlags(messageSet,"Deleted",1) if (success == false) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"; exit end # Expunge and close the mailbox. success = imap.ExpungeAndClose() if (success == false) print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"; exit end # Disconnect from the IMAP server. success = imap.Disconnect() |
