CkMailboxes CkPython Reference Documentation

CkMailboxes

Current Version: 10.1.0

Represents a collection of IMAP mailboxes.

Object Creation

obj = chilkat.CkMailboxes()

Properties

Count
# intVal is an integer
intVal = mailboxes.get_Count();

The number of mailboxes in the collection.

Note: The Mailboxes class is for use with the Chilkat IMAP component.

top
LastMethodSuccess
# boolVal is a boolean
boolVal = mailboxes.get_LastMethodSuccess();
mailboxes.put_LastMethodSuccess(boolVal);

Indicate whether the last method call succeeded or failed. A value of True indicates success, a value of False indicates failure. This property is automatically set for method calls. It is not modified by property accesses. The property is automatically set to indicate success for the following types of method calls:

  • Any method that returns a string.
  • Any method returning a Chilkat object, binary bytes, or a date/time.
  • Any method returning a standard boolean status value where success = True and failure = False.
  • Any method returning an integer where failure is defined by a return value less than zero.

Note: Methods that do not fit the above requirements will always set this property equal to True. For example, a method that returns no value (such as a "void" in C++) will technically always succeed.

Utf8
# boolVal is a boolean
boolVal = mailboxes.get_Utf8();
mailboxes.put_Utf8(boolVal);

When set to True, all "const char *" arguments are interpreted as utf-8 strings. If set to False (the default), then "const char *" arguments are interpreted as ANSI strings. Also, when set to True, and Chilkat method returning a "const char *" is returning the utf-8 representation. If set to False, all "const char *" return values are ANSI strings.

Methods

GetFlags
# index is an integer
# outStr is a CkString (output)
status = mailboxes.GetFlags(index, outStr);
retStr = mailboxes.getFlags(index);

Returns a comma-separated list of flags for the Nth mailbox. For example, "\HasNoChildren,\Important".

Returns True for success, False for failure.

top
GetMailboxIndex
# mbxName is a string
retInt = mailboxes.GetMailboxIndex(mbxName);

Returns the index of the mailbox having the specified name.

top
GetName
# index is an integer
# outStrName is a CkString (output)
status = mailboxes.GetName(index, outStr);
retStr = mailboxes.getName(index);

The name of the Nth mailbox in this collection. Indexing begins at 0.

Returns True for success, False for failure.

top
GetNthFlag
# index is an integer
# flagIndex is an integer
# outStr is a CkString (output)
status = mailboxes.GetNthFlag(index, flagIndex, outStr);
retStr = mailboxes.getNthFlag(index, flagIndex);

Returns the name of the Nth flag for the Mth mailbox. The index is the index of the mailbox. The flagIndex is the index of the flag.

Returns True for success, False for failure.

top
GetNumFlags
# index is an integer
retInt = mailboxes.GetNumFlags(index);

Returns the number of flags for the Nth mailbox. Returns -1 if the index is out of range.

top
HasFlag
# index is an integer
# flagName is a string
retBool = mailboxes.HasFlag(index, flagName);

Returns True if the Nth mailbox has the specified flag set. The flag name is case insensitive and should begin with a backslash character, such as "\Flagged". The index is the index of the Nth mailbox.

More Information and Examples
top
HasInferiors
# index is an integer
retBool = mailboxes.HasInferiors(index);

Returns True if the Nth mailbox has inferiors (i.e. sub-mailboxes), or if it is possible to create child mailboxes in the future.

Note: the HasNoChildren attribute/flag should not be confused with the IMAP4 [RFC-2060] defined attribute Noinferiors which indicates that no child mailboxes exist now AND none can be created in the future.

top
IsMarked
# index is an integer
retBool = mailboxes.IsMarked(index);

Returns True if the Nth mailbox is marked.

top
IsSelectable
# index is an integer
retBool = mailboxes.IsSelectable(index);

Returns True if the Nth mailbox is selectable.

top
LoadTaskResult
# task is a CkTask
status = mailboxes.LoadTaskResult(task);
Introduced in version 9.5.0.52

Loads the mailboxes object from a completed asynchronous task.

Returns True for success, False for failure.
