EmailBundle C# Reference Documentation

EmailBundle

Current Version: 10.1.2

Requires Chilkat Bundle License

Represents a collection of Email objects.

Object Creation

Chilkat.EmailBundle obj = new Chilkat.EmailBundle();

Properties

DebugLogFilePath

public string DebugLogFilePath {get; set; }

If set to a file path, this property logs the LastErrorText of each Chilkat method or property call to the specified file. This logging helps identify the context and history of Chilkat calls leading up to any crash or hang, aiding in debugging.

Enabling the VerboseLogging property provides more detailed information. This property is mainly used for debugging rare instances where a Chilkat method call causes a hang or crash, which should generally not happen.

Possible causes of hangs include:

A timeout property set to 0, indicating an infinite timeout.
A hang occurring within an event callback in the application code.
An internal bug in the Chilkat code causing the hang.

LastErrorHtml

public string LastErrorHtml {get; }

Provides HTML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

LastErrorText

public string LastErrorText {get; }

Provides plain text information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

LastErrorXml

public string LastErrorXml {get; }

Provides XML-formatted information about the last called method or property. If a method call fails or behaves unexpectedly, check this property for details. Note that information is available regardless of the method call's success.

LastMethodSuccess

public bool LastMethodSuccess {get; set; }

Indicates the success or failure of the most recent method call: true means success, false means failure. This property remains unchanged by property setters or getters. This method is present to address challenges in checking for null or Nothing returns in certain programming languages.

MessageCount

public int MessageCount {get; }

The number of emails in this bundle.

VerboseLogging

public bool VerboseLogging {get; set; }

If set to true, then the contents of LastErrorText (or LastErrorXml, or LastErrorHtml) may contain more verbose information. The default value is false. Verbose logging should only be used for debugging. The potentially large quantity of logged information may adversely affect peformance.

Version

public string Version {get; }

Version of the component/library, such as "10.1.0"

Methods

AddEmail

public bool AddEmail(Email email);

Adds an email object to the bundle.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

FindByHeader

public Email FindByHeader(string headerFieldName, string headerFieldValue);

Returns the first email having a header field matching the headerFieldName and headerFieldValue exactly (case sensitive). If no matching email is found, returns null.

Returns null on failure

GetEmail

public Email GetEmail(int index);

Returns the Nth Email in the bundle. The email returned is a copy of the email in the bundle. Updating the email object returned by GetEmail has no effect on the email within the bundle. To update/replace the email in the bundle, your program should call GetEmail to get a copy, make modifications, call RemoveEmailByIndex to remove the email (passing the same index used in the call to GetEmail), and then call AddEmail to insert the new/modified email into the bundle.

IMPORTANT: This method does NOT communicate with any mail server to download the email. It simply returns the Nth email object that exists within it's in-memory collection of email objects.

Returns null on failure

GetUidls

public StringArray GetUidls();

Returns a StringArray object containing UIDLs for all Email objects in the bundle. UIDLs are only valid for emails retrieved from POP3 servers. An email on a POP3 server has a "UIDL", an email on IMAP servers has a "UID". If the email was retrieved from an IMAP server, the UID will be accessible via the "ckx-imap-uid" header field.

Returns null on failure

GetXml

public string GetXml();

Converts the email bundle to an XML document in memory. Returns the XML document as a string.

Returns null on failure

LoadTaskResult

public bool LoadTaskResult(Task task);

Introduced in version 9.5.0.52

Loads the email bundle from a completed asynchronous task.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

LoadXml

public bool LoadXml(string filename);

Loads an email bundle from an XML file.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

LoadXmlString

public bool LoadXmlString(string xmlStr);

Loads an email bundle from an XML string.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

RemoveEmail

public bool RemoveEmail(Email email);

Removes an email from the bundle. This does not remove the email from the mail server.

Returns true for success, false for failure.

RemoveEmailByIndex

public bool RemoveEmailByIndex(int index);

Removes the Nth email in a bundle. (Indexing begins at 0.)

Returns true for success, false for failure.

SaveXml

public bool SaveXml(string filename);

Converts each email to XML and persists the bundle to an XML file. The email bundle can later be re-instantiated by calling MailMan.LoadXmlFile

Returns true for success, false for failure.

SortByDate

public void SortByDate(bool ascending);

Sorts emails in the bundle by date.

SortByRecipient

public void SortByRecipient(bool ascending);

Sorts emails in the bundle by recipient.

SortBySender

public void SortBySender(bool ascending);

Sorts emails in the bundle by sender.

SortBySubject

public void SortBySubject(bool ascending);

Sorts emails in the bundle by subject.
