How to Download Messages in MessageSet One at a Time

See more IMAP Examples

If a message set contains a huge number of emails, it's NOT a good idea to try to download all at once into an email bundle using a method such as FetchBundle. It's better to iterate over the messages in the set to download one by one. Unicode C++

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkImapW imap;

    // Connect using TLS.
    imap.put_Ssl(true);
    imap.put_Port(993);
    success = imap.Connect(L"imap.example.com");
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",imap.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // Authenticate
    success = imap.Login(L"email_account_login",L"email_account_password");
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",imap.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // Select an IMAP mailbox
    success = imap.SelectMailbox(L"Inbox");
    if (success == false) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",imap.lastErrorText());
        return;
    }

    // Search for messages and return a set of matching messages.
    // (This example will simply search for ALL messages.)

    CkMessageSetW messageSet;
    success = imap.QueryMbx(L"ALL",fetchUids,messageSet);

    wprintf(L"Number of messages = %d\n",messageSet.get_Count());

    CkEmailW email;
    int i = 0;
    while (i < messageSet.get_Count()) {
        success = imap.FetchEmail(false,messageSet.GetId(i),fetchUids,email);

            wprintf(L"%s\n",imap.lastErrorText());
            return;

        i = i + 1;
