EmailReadPreviousHeader (Function)

In french: EmailLitEntêtePrécédent

Reads the header of the email found before the current email:

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 different variables of email structure (or Email variable) 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, it is necessary to open a session with EmailStartSession, EmailStartNotesSession or EmailStartOutlookSession.

The POP3 protocol can only be used to read emails.

Example

// Deletes the emails sent by "black-listed" senders
// Browse the emails
// Read the header only
// (to save bandwidth)
// If the email is "black-listed", delete it
// Then, the "authorized" emails can be read
// later on
IF EmailReadLastHeader(MyPOPSession) THEN
LOOP
// Is the sender "black listed"?
IF BlackListedSender(Email.SenderAddress) OR ...
BlackListedSender(Email.Sender) THEN
EmailDeleteMessage(MyPOPSession)
END
DO WHILE EmailReadPreviousHeader(MyPOPSession)
END
