Is it possible to delete messages with mailBee pop3, and if not, how can a message be uniquely identified?

MailBee POP3 object allows both deleting and unique identification of messages.
To delete a message, you can use POP3.DeleteMessage method (the sample below deletes first message from the mailbox):
Code:
Set objPOP3 = CreateObject("MailBee.POP3")
objPOP3.LicenseKey = "Your MailBee key"
If objPOP3.Connect("mail.server.com", 110, "user", "pass") Then
objPOP3.DeleteMessage 1
objPOP3.Disconnect
End If
|
|
|
To uniquely identify messages, you can use POP3.Search method to get array of Unique-ID's of all messages in the mailbox, or POP3.GetMessageUID/POP3.GetMessageNumberFromUID methods to get individual Unique-ID value for specified message number and vice versa.

Alex

To delete all messages, just use the loop like below:
Code:
Set objPOP3 = CreateObject("MailBee.POP3")
objPOP3.LicenseKey = "Your MailBee key"
If objPOP3.Connect("mail.server.com", 110, "user", "pass") Then
For I = 1 To objPOP3.MessageCount Then
objPOP3.DeleteMessage I
Next
objPOP3.Disconnect
End If
|
|
|
POP3 protocol does not support "delete all messages" within single command, so using the loop is the only way to delete multiple messages.

Following the code example above to delete all messages. Is it guaranteed that if after connecting and then reconnecting to delete all messages, any new messages that have arrived in the mean time will be at the next index up.
i.e. change delete messages code above to delete up to known message count not current message count as a new message could have arrived.

Yes, new messages are always added to the end of mailbox, and their message number values will be greater than existing messages' ones.
