imap_examine

Example: imap_examineInternet Messaging Functions (IMAP)

Selects a mailbox for viewing.

int imap_examine( char *transaction, char *mailbox, LAST );
transactionA transaction name for this step in quotes. To avoid creating a transaction for this step, use a null string, "".
mailboxThe name of a mailbox in the following format:"MAILBOX=mailbox_name"
LAST A marker indicating the end of the argument list.

The imap_examine function selects a mailbox to view its messages. Calling this function does not modify the mailbox state (the number of messages unread, total number of messages, etc.).

This function is identical to imap_select, except that it only has read-access on the mailbox—it does not change any mailbox states. To retrieve the mailbox properties, call imap_get_attribute_int.

This function is for use with global sessions. For multiple sessions, use the imap_select_ex function, which allows you to specify a session identifier.

Return Values

If this function succeeds, it returns LR_PASS. Otherwise, it returns LR_FAIL.
