LastMethodSuccess
LastMethodSuccess As Boolean

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.

HasInferiors
Function HasInferiors(ByVal index As Integer) As Boolean

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.
