Rust Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Delete All IMAP Email

Demonstrates two ways to delete all email in a mailbox on an IMAP server. Rust

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

let imap = chilkat::Imap::new();

// Turn on session logging:
imap.set_keep_session_log(true);

// Connect to an IMAP server.
// Use TLS
imap.set_ssl(true);
imap.set_port(993);
if imap.connect("imap.example.com").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Login
if imap.login("myLogin", "myPassword").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Select an IMAP mailbox
if imap.select_mailbox("Inbox.RubyMail").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Get the complete set of Uids for email in the selected mailbox.
let message_set = chilkat::MessageSet::new();
if imap.query_mbx("ALL", true, &message_set).is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Set the Deleted flag for each message.
// (ExpungeAndClose must be called to finalize the delete.)
if imap.set_flags(&message_set, "Deleted", 1).is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Alternatively, the Deleted flag may be set for each UID
// individiually, but this is less efficient:
let mut i = 0;
let n = message_set.count();
while i < n {
    if imap.set_flag(message_set.get_id(i), message_set.has_uids(), "Deleted", 1).is_err() {
        println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
        return;
    }

    i = i + 1;
}

// Expunge and close the mailbox.
if imap.expunge_and_close().is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Display the session log.
println!("{}", imap.session_log());

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
let _ = imap.disconnect().is_ok();
