New Post: All messages are empty

NadyaChe — Sat, 10 Mar 2012 17:53:56 GMT

Hello, I have a problem.

I followed an example in InterIMAPConsoleTest in Program.cs.

Here is the code I have:

IMAPConfig config = new IMAPConfig("mail.xxxxx.ru", "mail@xxxxx.ru", "xxxxx", false, true, "");
IMAPClient client = null;
try
{
	client = new IMAPClient(config, null, 5);
	IMAPFolder f = client.Folders["INBOX"];
	f.Select();

	foreach (IMAPMessage msg in f.Messages)
	{
		IMAPMessage fullmessage = f.GetMessageByID(msg.Uid);
		ParseAndSave(fullmessage);
	}
}
catch (IMAPException e)
{
	Console.WriteLine(e.Message);
	return;
}

So, in this code in fullmessage I have only Uid set, all other fields are either null or have empty default value.

What could be the problem causing this behavior?

I've already tried to use RefreshData method on my fullmessage, but with no success.

Appreciate any help.

New Post: Messages in subfolders and read the same message twice

EndLessMind — Fri, 09 Sep 2011 23:05:01 GMT

Hi.

I have 2 question.

1. When i fetch the folderlist, i get 1 folder and 3 subfolders.

INBOX, INBOX/Sent, INBOX/Trash and INBOX/Draft

When i select INBOX, i get allt the messages in INBOX, but i don't the the sent messages when i select INBOX/Sent.

And i'm using the sample code to fetch messages:

            string name = listBox1.SelectedItem.ToString();
            folder = client.MailboxManager.GetFolderByPath(name);
            client.RequestManager.SubmitRequest(new MessageListRequest(folder, MessageListComplete), false);

Why is it doing this?

Question 2. If i select a message and reads it, then select an other, and then, select the first one again, it dose not display the first. The same for every message the i've already open.

Why is it behaving like this? Is there any fix?

New Post: Hello World example?

darrylwhitmore — Mon, 04 Jul 2011 18:02:06 GMT

Ok, I've switched over to the Async test app, and have had some success getting it to work and can see how to get attachments and html text. A couple more questions:

I see how to set a message as "read" via the MailboxManager.MarkMessageAsRead() method, but I don't see something similar for deleting a message. I'm not sure what MailboxManager.RemoveMessage() does; it didn't delete the message for me, and I could not understand what the code was doing. I ended up using MailboxManager.SetMessageFlag( _msg, InterIMAP.Common.MessageFlag.Deleted, true, false ), and this seemed to do the trick, but I'm wondering if this is the "right" way to do the job.

Next, I need to get notification when a new message arrives in the inbox. Unclear how to do this. I see the NewMessagesRequest class, but this looks like I need to use this in my own polling loop. I was thinking there might be an event that I could hook and be notified when a new message arrives instead of having to poll myself. If this exists, I can't find it. I could really use a little push in the right direction on how to monitor for new messages. Thanks!

darrylwhitmore — Sun, 03 Jul 2011 22:39:34 GMT

I've downloaded the source and am trying to figure out the InterIMAPConsoleTest app, with little success. Could someone give me a little hello world bit of code that will demonstrate how to connect and read an email that contains an attachment? I am getting the message, but the AttachmentsAvailable property is false and the Attachments collection has a length of zero, not to mention there seems to be no html data in the message. Clearly I'm missing something obvious, I'd appreciate any help, thanks!

New Post: Save as XML

mschelstrate — Mon, 27 Jun 2011 21:57:05 GMT

In the original IMAP Library there was extensive code written to save the message as an XML document which I have been using to store the messages and read them in another application.

I have been having a lot of problems with the original IMAP library and would prefer to switch to using this version as it appears to be more mature and up to date.

Is there code in this version that I have not found that allows the mail message to be stored as an XML document with a structure similar to the original library?

Unfortunately, I have not had an opportunity to test this library against Exchange 2010 see what differences exist between 2010 and 2007. I am considering a major overhaul of the library to remove the old synchronous code, simplify the API, and update it to use at least .NET 3.5, if not 4.0

New Post: Get new messages

JasonMiesionczek — Wed, 22 Jun 2011 16:21:57 GMT

In order to get the message information itself, you must fire off a FullMessageRequest passing in the client object, and the IMessage object.

mslot — Sat, 14 May 2011 08:19:07 GMT

Hello

I want to use this library, but somehow I can not get it to work. Only the sync model, but it does not get maintained anymore, so I do not want to use that.

I have det following code:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Text;
using InterIMAP;
using InterIMAP.Asynchronous.Client;
using InterIMAP.Common.Interfaces;
using InterIMAP.Common.Requests;
using InterIMAP.Synchronous;
using InterIMAP.Common.Processors;

namespace IMAPTest
{
    class Program
    {
        private static void FolderTreeCallback(IRequest req)
        {
            //throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        static void nmr_NewMessageRequestCompleted(IMessage[] messages)
        {
            throw new NotImplementedException();
        }

        static void Main()
        {
            IMAPConfig config = new IMAPConfig("******", "*****", "******", false, false, "");
            IMAPAsyncClient client = new IMAPAsyncClient(config, 5);
            client.Start();

            IBatchRequest batch = new SimpleBatchRequest();
            client.Start();

            FolderTreeRequest ftr = new FolderTreeRequest("\"\"", null);
            client.RequestManager.SubmitAndWait(ftr, false);

            /*
             * Get INBOX folder
             */
            Console.WriteLine("Get INBOX.");
            IFolder folder = null;
            FolderDataRequest fdr = new FolderDataRequest(client.MailboxManager.GetFolderByPath("INBOX"), null);
            fdr.RequestCompleted += delegate(IRequest req)
            {
                FolderDataProcessor fdp = req.GetProcessorAsType<FolderDataProcessor>();
                folder = fdp.Request.Command.ParameterObjects[0] as IFolder;
            };

            batch.Requests.Add(fdr);

            client.RequestManager.SubmitBatchAndWait(batch, false);
            batch.Requests.Clear();

            MessageListRequest mlr = new MessageListRequest(folder, null);
            mlr.RequestCompleted += delegate(IRequest req2)
            {
                MessageListProcessor fdp2 = req2.GetProcessorAsType<MessageListProcessor>();

                IFolder f2 = fdp2.Request.Command.ParameterObjects[0] as IFolder;
                Console.WriteLine("Message List for {0} loaded. {1} Messages found.", f2.Name, f2.Exists);

                IMessage[] messages = f2.Messages;
            };

            batch.Requests.Add(mlr);
            client.RequestManager.SubmitBatchAndWait(batch, false);

            Console.WriteLine("Press any key");
            Console.ReadLine();

            client.Stop();
        }
    }
}

In the line "IMessage[] messages = f2.Messages" I would expect it to get all messages. But it does not. It only gives me empty objects. It does however gives me the message count!! But gives me empty objects.

I have tried the sync model:

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using InterIMAP;
using InterIMAP.Synchronous;

namespace InterIMAPSync
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            IMAPConfig config = new IMAPConfig("****", "*****", "*****", false, false, "");
            InterIMAP.Synchronous.IMAPClient client = new InterIMAP.Synchronous.IMAPClient(config, null, 5);

            client.Logon();

            IMAPMessageCollection messages = client.GetSingleFolder("INBOX").Messages;

            foreach (IMAPMessage message in messages)
            {
                Console.WriteLine(message.ThreadTopic);

            }

            
        }
    }
}

This works just fine, is easy readable, but it does not get maintained anymore, so I want to use the async way of doing it, but is there a way of making the async code as readable as the sync code?

I have tried to use this code snippet:

static void Main()
{
IMAPConfig config = new IMAPConfig("mail.myhost.tl", "xxxx@xxx.xx", "xxxxxx", false, false, "\"\"");
IMAPAsyncClient client = new IMAPAsyncClient(config, 5);
client.Start();
client.RequestManager.SubmitAndWait(new FolderTreeRequest("\"\"", FolderTreeCallback), false);

NewMessagesRequest nmr = new NewMessagesRequest(client);
nmr.NewMessageRequestCompleted += new NewMessagesRequest.NewMessageRequestCompletedHandler(nmr_NewMessageRequestCompleted);
//nmr.Start(); // checks for new messages in all folders
IFolder folder = client.MailboxManager.GetFolderByPath("INBOX");
nmr.Start(folder); // checks for new messages in the INBOX folder only
}

private static void FolderTreeCallback(IRequest req)
{
// whatever logic you need to do to indicate the process has completed.
}

static void nmr_NewMessageRequestCompleted(IMessage[] messages)
{
throw new NotImplementedException();
}

But this does not throw any exceptions. Or do anything expected. This is readable, but does not work :(

Am I doing anything wrong in my examples (is there an more readable way of writing an async example that fetches all unseen messages from the server?)? Or is there an easier way of doing it, that I have not spotted?

Hope to hear from someone.

New Post: IMAPSearchQuery issue

ruyeri23 — Wed, 02 Mar 2011 17:11:36 GMT

Hello,

I have following code:

IMAPConfig config = new IMAPConfig("xxx", "xxx", "xxx", false, true, "xxx");
IMAPClient mailClient = new IMAPClient(config, null, 1);

IMAPFolder inboxFolder = mailClient.Folders["INBOX"];
IMAPMailAddress address = new IMAPMailAddress();
address.Address = "xxx@xxx.com>";

IMAPSearchQuery query = new IMAPSearchQuery();
query.From.Add(address);
IMAPSearchResult sResult = inboxFolder.Search(query);

The IMAPSearchResult is being empty. We were previously connecting to Exchange 2007 and it worked correctly but now connecting to Exchange 2010 it does not seem to work. Any suggestions? Do I have to call a different method to do that? The problem seems to be when trying to do a Search using the From value.

I do a search and it does not return values when migrated to Exchange 2010. We received values correctly when using Exchange 2007.

Waiting for your kind help.

New Post: Compile InterIMAPConsoleTest on VS2010

sbowyer — Fri, 25 Feb 2011 17:50:32 GMT

I downloaded the library, and am trying it out. VS2010 converts it, issuing various warnings about those /// comments being missing.

When I ran the InterIMAPConsole test program with my site's values, things went okay until this (line 49: Program.cs)

IMAPFolder f = client.Folders["INBOX"];

// Loop until a new message gotten
int[] msgCount = null;

// Fixes, but causes infinite loop until message arrives
//int[] msgCount = f.CheckForNewMessages();

while (msgCount.Length == 0)
{
msgCount = f.CheckForNewMessages();
Thread.Sleep(1000);
}

The null on the msgCount definition causes the program to throw an exception on the while condition a few lines down.

I replaced the null with the f.Check, and that seems to get the code to do what was intended. However, since the exception causes the Console Window output to pause, and fixing it causes the window to scroll indefinitely until I exit debug (causing the window to go away), I was actually better off with my study by putting the null back in! Anyway, I think you would want to fix it in the source.

New Post: A couple or problems

RobSeder — Fri, 21 Jan 2011 03:31:48 GMT

I basically am looking to monitor a gmail account. I can log in and get all the items in the inbox - well, everything except the message bodies:

Getting message bodies:
OK, so first, here is some sample code that works - except that TextData, HtmlData, and the attachments are not there. Is there some method I need to call to populate that data? Also, ContentLoaded is false:

    IMAPClient client = new IMAPClient();
    client.Config = 
        new IMAPConfig("imap.gmail.com", 
            "awesome.duh-developer@gmail.com", "secretpass", true, true, "");
    client.Logon();

    foreach (IMAPMessage message in client.Folders["INBOX"].Messages)
    {
            // TextData is null
            model.Add(new MailModel()
            {
                From = message.From[0].DisplayName,
                //Body = message.TextData.TextData,
                Subject = message.Subject,
                ItemDate = message.Date.ToLocalTime(),
                MailId = message.Uid,
                IsNew = message.Flags.New
            });
    }

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong here? I can see the from, to, subject, etc - but the actual message body is not there.

Seeing if a message is "new" or not:
From the code sample above, the message.Flags.New is ALWAYS false. This seemed like a nice way to differentiate if an e-mail is new or not but it doesn't work. Any idea what's wrong here? Is there any alternative to seeing if the message has been read or not?

Best-practices for monitoring for new messages:
IMAP natively supports the notion of "idle" where the caller will be notified when a new message arrives. I could find this in this implementation, is that supported? Or, should the developer just poll over 15 minutes or so? Also, I noticed that the IMAPClient doesn't implement IDisposable, which i would expect if the resources for that component (like the network stream) are to be cleaned up. Is it alright to use the code sample like above or is there some other calling convention that would be better? This is for a monitoring application that will run 24/7 and I don't want to have a memory leak.

Anyone have any thoughts on these? thanks!

-Rob

New Post: Time Zone / Offset

pettijohn — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 18:31:53 GMT

I'm looking at MessageHeaderProcessor.cs and see this method. The regex knows to match the offset ([-]\d+), but doesn't capture or use it.

Am I missing something? Is this the actual place in code where dates are parsed?

        private DateTime ParseDate(string date)
        {
            //Tue,  7 Apr 2009 09:04:02 -0700 (PDT)
            string pattern = @"^\w+[,]\s+(?<day>(\d+))\s+(?<month>(\w+))\s+(?<year>(\d+))\s+(?<hour>(\d{2})):(?<min>(\d{2})):(?<sec>(\d{2}))\s+[-]\d+\s+";
            Match match = Regex.Match(date, pattern);
            if (match.Success)
            {
                int day = Int32.Parse(match.Groups["day"].Value);
                int month = GetMonth(match.Groups["month"].Value);
                if (month == 0)
                    throw new Exception("Could not identify month in date string");

                int year = Int32.Parse(match.Groups["year"].Value);
                int hour = Int32.Parse(match.Groups["hour"].Value);
                int min = Int32.Parse(match.Groups["min"].Value);
                int sec = Int32.Parse(match.Groups["sec"].Value);
                DateTime d = new DateTime(year, month, day, hour, min, sec);
                return d;

            }

            DateTime d2 = new DateTime();
            DateTime.TryParse(date, out d2);

            return d2;
        }

New Post: Problems with Attachments

pdfforge — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 23:06:40 GMT

Hi,

I have been testing InterIMAP for a few moments and I am very impressed. I have tested some other libraries as well and think that this is the most intelligent. It works very well with a sensible class structure and is not following the technical side.

But I ran into some problems with attachments. At first, they were not recognized at all, until I have made a small modification. But it still does not find the correct filename. I am not that good with the library that I would have found the problem already, but I would create a mail account to test with if required. My server uses dovecot, if that is of any interest.

kind regards,
Philip

New Post: How to get Unseen MessageListRequest?

ostlerc — Mon, 29 Nov 2010 21:54:01 GMT

I would like to add that I was also having problems with the QuickSearchNew because I believed (as the comment in the code states) that it would return unseen messages. This however is not the truth. In order to fix this I changed IMAPFolder.cs (around like 840) to have the following:

if (query.New)

{

searchTerms.Add("UNSEEN");

}

That fixed my problem and all unread emails are now being searched for correctly. However this might lead to other problems where you did in fact want to search for "NEW". I am not familiar with all the IMAP4 protocols, so I cannot verify that the "NEW" is useful in any case or not.

New Post: Running the basic example code

gws — Fri, 26 Nov 2010 16:22:37 GMT

IMAPAsyncClient belongs here:

InterIMAP.Asynchronous.Client.IMAPAsyncClient

Not Here:

InterIMAP.IMAPAsyncClient

So, you need to replace...

IMAPAsyncClient client = new IMAPAsyncClient(config, 5);

with something like this...

InterIMAP.Asynchronous.Client.IMAPAsyncClient = new InterIMAP.Asynchronous.Client.IMAPAsyncClient(config, 5);

Or, declare...

using InterIMAP.Asynchronous.Client;

New Post: SSLStream with Client Certificate

ostlerc — Fri, 12 Nov 2010 20:53:46 GMT

In the IMAPBase.cs file you find where the SSL connection is being created for IMAP - this is in the Connect function. It looks something like this

m_SSLStream = new SslStream(m_oImapServ.GetStream(), false, new RemoteCertificateValidationCallback(ValidateServerCertificate), null);

The last argument to this is the LocalCertificateSelectionCallback. If someone were to want to (and I do) use a client certificate there is no possible way as of yet it seems. Is there a future plan to allow this? I currently am working on changing this but I would prefer to have the changes done by the makers of InterIMAP so I could make it easier to update when new releases are done.

Has anyone already made a version where this feature is implemented?

Thanks,

Chad Ostler
