EmailReadMessageHeader (Function)

In french: EmailLitEntêteMessage

Reads the header of an email received:

via the POP3 or IMAP protocol: the email is found in the in-box on the messaging server.
via the Lotus Notes or Outlook messaging software: the incoming email is found on the local computer in the in-box of Lotus Notes or Outlook.

The variables of email structure corresponding to the message header are filled.

This function is useful when reading the email is linked to the message size for example.

The Email.Out variable is set to True if no email is found.

Reminder: Before reading an email, a session must be started by one of the following functions: EmailStartSession, EmailStartNotesSession or EmailStartOutlookSession.

The POP3 protocol can only be used to read emails.

Example

// Use the POP3 protocol
// Read the emails whose size does not exceed MaxEmailSize
I is int
FOR I = 1 TO EmailNbMessage(UserName)
IF EmailMessageLength(UserName, I) < MaxEmailSize THEN
// Procedure for reading and processing the message
ReadMessage()
ELSE
EmailReadMessageHeader(UserName, I)
// Response procedure indicating that the email was not read
ReturnMessage(Email.SenderAddress)
END
END

// Use with the Outlook messaging software
// TABLE_EmailTable table contains all the incoming emails
// COL_Sender contains the sender name (Email.Sender variable)
// COL_Subject contains the email subject (Email.Sujet variable)
// COL_ID contains the email identifier (Email.ID variable)
// Read the header of email selected in the table
EmailReadMessageHeader(SessionID, COL_ID)

Remarks

Number of messages found in the mailbox (POP3 protocol)

You can get the total number of messages received with EmailNbMessage.

If a message was deleted by EmailDeleteMessage in the same email session:

EmailNbMessage returns the number of messages found on the email server before the deletion.
the numbers of the deleted messages are not re-assigned.

For example: During the connection, four messages are found on the server and these messages are numbered 1 to 4. If message #1 is deleted:

EmailNbMessage returns 4.
EmailReadMessage or EmailReadMessageHeader cannot read message # 1: the message no longer exists. The Email.Out variable returns True. Only the messages 2, 3, and 4 exist.

The message numbers are re-assigned during the next connection.

Number of messages found in the mailbox (Outlook messaging)

The total number of received messages is returned by EmailNbMessage.

If a message was deleted by EmailDeleteMessage in the same email session, EmailNbMessage returns the actual number of messages in the inbox folder.

Outlook messaging

The WLanguage EmailReadxxx functions operate with the Outlook data file (.pst) only. The other data files are not supported.
