Mailboxes

Current Version: 9.5.0.97

Represents a collection of IMAP mailboxes.

Object Creation

obj = chilkat2.Mailboxes()

Properties

Count
int Count (read-only)

The number of mailboxes in the collection.

Note: The Mailboxes class is for use with the Chilkat IMAP component.

top
LastMethodSuccess
bool LastMethodSuccess

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of True indicates success, a value of False indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = True and failure = False.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to True. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

More Information and Examples
top
HasInferiors
bool HasInferiors(int index)

Returns True if the Nth mailbox has inferiors (i.e. sub-mailboxes), or if it is possible to create child mailboxes in the future.

Note: the HasNoChildren attribute/flag should not be confused with the IMAP4 [RFC-2060] defined attribute Noinferiors which indicates that no child mailboxes exist now AND none can be created in the future.

top
IsMarked
bool IsMarked(int index)

Returns True if the Nth mailbox is marked.

top

bool IsSelectable(int index)

Returns True if the Nth mailbox is selectable.
