How do you delete mail in IMAP?

[Miguel Garcia]

Hi Das,

First set the "deleted" flag to kTrue using kOW3imapActionSetMessageFlags.

Example :

     Do RowFlags.$addcols('answered',kInteger,k32bitint,)
     Do RowFlags.$addcols('deleted',kInteger,k32bitint,)
     Do RowFlags.$addcols('draft',kInteger,k32bitint,)
     Do RowFlags.$addcols('flagged',kInteger,k32bitint,)
     Do RowFlags.$addcols('seen',kInteger,k32bitint,)
     Do RowFlags.$assigncols(kUnknown,kTrue,kUnknown,kUnknown,kUnknown)
     Do 
$cinst.$start(kOW3imapActionSetMessageFlags,pMailboxName,pUID,RowFlags) 
Returns lOk

Then to delete completely de message execute the EXPUGNE imap command.

Example :

             Calculate lCmd as $cinst.$chartoutf7(nfd(trim('EXPUNGE')))

             Do $cinst.$start(kOW3imapActionExecute,pMailboxName,lCmd) 
Returns lOk

$cinst is an IMAPClientWorker object and pMailboxName is the folder of 
the message.

Best regards.
