Retrieving new messages

Upon establishing a connection to a IMAP server you can retrieve all new messages in the account mailbox by invoking the GetNewMessages method. Any messages found are returned as an Enumeration.

Note

New messages are messages received since the last time the account was accessed.

Example

[C#]

myImap.Connect();

IEnumerator e = myImap.GetNewMessages();

while(e.MoveNext()) {

 EmailMessage message = (EmailMessage)e.Current;

 // write out message subject

 Console.Writeline(message.GetSubject());

}

[Visual Basic]

myImap.Connect()

Dim e As IEnumerator = myImap.GetNewMessages()

Dim message As EmailMessage = Nothing

While (e.MoveNext())

 message = e.Current

 ' write out message subject

 Console.WriteLine(message.GetSubject())

End While
