# imap_get_result_ex

Internet Messaging Functions (IMAP)

Gets an IMAP server return code, for a specific session.

    int imap_get_result_ex( IMAP *ppimap );

ppimap | A session identifier.

The imap_get_result_ex function gets an IMAP server return code for a specific server session. You use this function to determine the error code issued by the IMAP server for the previous IMAP function.

The following table shows the possible return codes:

Error Code | Value | Description
--- | --- | ---
IMAP_OK | 1 | The function succeeded.
IMAP_NO | 2 | Function execution was denied.
IMAP_BAD | 3 | The arguments that were passed were either invalid or not allowed.
IMAP_BYE | 4 | The server closed the connection.
IMAP_PREAUTH | 5 | The client connected to the server that was previously authenticated.
IMAP_TIMEOUT | -1 | The IMAP operation failed to return a result.
IMAP_DISCONNECTED | -2 | The IMAP session is no longer connected to the server.
IMAP_NOSESSION | -3 | No IMAP session exists—no session was created.
IMAP_INVALID | -4 | Invalid client-side arguments were used in the imap_* function.

This function is for use with multiple sessions. For global sessions, use the imap_get_result function, which leaves out the session identifier.
