imap_examine
Example: imap_examine | Internet Messaging Functions (IMAP) |
Selects a mailbox for viewing.
int imap_examine( char *transaction, char *mailbox, LAST );
transaction | A transaction name for this step in quotes. To avoid creating a transaction for this step, use a null string, "". |
mailbox | The 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.
Parameterization
