Hello out there,
my program uses MailBee's 5.5.0.123 AppendMessage method to create e-mails on a Dovecot-IMAP-Server.
Is it possible to set the keyword $Forwarded when appending the messages?
$Forwarded is a non standard keyword as described in
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-melnikov-imap-keywords-03
Any help would be appreciated!
Regards from Berlin!

MailBee Objects (ActiveX) supports setting the following flags only:
- Answered
- Deleted
- Draft
- Flagged
- Recent
- Seen
Setting keywords is not supported. However, MailBee.NET Objects supports this. Imap.Search and Imap.SetMessageFlags methods accept "string flags", so you can pass a keyword there.
Best regards,
Andrew

"Setting keywords is not supported."
That's a pity :-(
No chance this feature will be implemented in the near future? ;-)

We primarily focus on .NET development. For ActiveX version, we release maintenance updates (i.e. bugfixes) only.
You can, however, easily workaround this using IMAP4.SendCommand method:
Code:
| IMAP4.SendCommand "STORE 1 +FLAGS.SILENT(\Seen $Forwarded)" |
|
|
This code sets \Seen and $Forwarded keywords for the first message in the folder.
If you'we working with UIDs rather than with message numbers, just prepend the command with "UID" word:
Code:
| IMAP4.SendCommand "UID STORE 9986 +FLAGS.SILENT(\Seen $Forwarded)" |
|

Thank you very much for showing the workaround using IMAP4.SendCommand.
I will try this soon!
Is there a reliable way to get a reference (index, UID) to a message created via AppendMessage method? Because I use AppendMessage and then want to set the $Forwarded flag for this message.
Thanks again for your help!
Regards from Berlin!

If your server supports UIDPLUS extension, you can take advantage of it:
Code:
If Mailer.AppendMessage("Inbox", "C:\msg.eml") Then
intBegin = InStr(Mailer.ServerResponse, "[")
intEnd = InStr(Mailer.ServerResponse, "]")
strRespCode = Mid(Mailer.ServerResponse, intBegin + 1, intEnd - intBegin - 1)
arr = Split(strRespCode, " ")
strUID = arr(2)
End If
|
|
|
strUID will contain UID value.
Regards,
Alex

thank you very much for your support: Fast and very helpful as always!!
Your workaround for non-standard keywords using .SendCommand "STORE 1 +FLAGS.SILENT ($Forwarded)"
works really fine!
Getting the UID of a newly appended message also works fine on a test server. Unfortunately our main IMAP server does not support UIDPLUS. So I'll probably try to do a search for the Message-ID to get the UID back after AppendMessage has created the new message from a message source string. ...
Thanks again for your help!
