I have implemented the ability in my client app to move emails from one IMAP account to another.

To accomplish this, I first use "DownloadEntireMessage" to get the whole message from the OLD server, then "UploadMessage" to upload it to the NEW server.

However, when calling "UploadMessage" I realised that I should also be sending in the "SystemMessageFlags" as a parameter so that the flags are consistent when the move operation is complete.

So the question is: how can I get at the "SystemMessageFlags" from the MailMessage object which I downloeded from "DownloadEntireMessage"?

As far as I can see, the flags are a property of the ENVELOPE object, but I can't see how to get them from the MailMessage object, so at the moment I have the additional overhead of a second call to download the envelope too.

Many thanks!

Flags are not a part of MailMessage object, you would need to download IMAP envelopes to obtain flags as described here. It's not necessary to make an extra call for downloading envelopes though; instead, you can request EnvelopeParts.MessagePreview with bodyPreviewSize set to -1, that will get you entire message upon DownloadEnvelopes call.

Hope this helps.

That does indeed help - many thanks!

On a related subject, after sending a new email, I call "imap.UploadMessage" to store a copy in the SENT ITEMS folder (apart from on Hotmail accounts which does it for you).

The odd thing is that the uploaded message is marked as UNREAD on the server.

Here's my code :-
Code:
imap.UploadMessage(msg, imap.FOLDER_SENT, SystemMessageFlags.Seen);


Should I be setting a different flag?

Thanks.

I would assume setting flags upon uploading message isn't implemented on specific IMAP server, try setting some other flag and see if it works, also try checking if this works on another server. Analyzing IMAP logs can help understanding what exactly is going wrong.

So just further to this, I'm finding that on Gmail, Hotmail and 1&1, calling UploadMessage with SystemMessageFlags.Seen has no effect and the uploaded messages are always UNREAD in the "Sent Items" folder.

Here's my code :-
Code:
imap.UploadMessage(msg, imap.FOLDER_SENT, SystemMessageFlags.Seen);


Here's the log :-

Am I doing something wrong, or do I always need to explicitly send an additional command to mark the email as read after uploading to the SEND folder?

When I try to reproduce this, I'm getting this in the logs (Dovecot mail server):

Quote:

[12:45:41.96] [SEND] MBN00000002 APPEND "Sent" (\Seen) "03-Feb-2017 12:45:41 +0300" {145+}\r\n


Notice \Seen, not Seen.

The code was:
Quote:

imp.UploadMessage(msg, "Sent", SystemMessageFlags.Seen);


Using 551 build.

I also checked with Gmail, \Seen flag gets actually set:

Quote:

[12:55:59.23] [SEND] MBN00000005 APPEND "[Gmail]/Sent Mail" (\Seen) "03-Feb-2017 12:55:59 +0300" {145}\r\n

Ah... I've just re-examined my code and the particular "UploadMessage" call in question is actually using a different overload :-

Code:
m_imap.UploadMessage(Msg, ToFolder, (Flags != null ? Flags.ToString() : null), ImapUtils.GetImapDateTimeString(MsgDateTime.Value), true, res);


I have to use this overload because I need to get the UIDPLUS result.

Flags is a "SystemMessageFlags?". I suspect the problem is how I'm converting it to a string - Flags.Value.ToString() which becomes "Seen" and not "\Seen".

What is the correct way to convert SystemMessageFlags to an IMAP text representation?

Got it

Code:
MessageFlagSet.SystemFlagsToString(Flags.Value)


It's all working beautifully now!
