Thread Safety

Public static (Shared in Visual Basic) members of this type are safe for multithreaded operations. Instance members are not guaranteed to be thread-safe.

Remarks

The FastItem is a quick an efficient way of obtaining some basic information about a message. In a single IMAP command, all of this information can be determined for a single message. It is the equivalent of querying the message for three different pieces of information, in a single command.

Example

          [C#]
IMAP4 imap = new IMAP4( "127.0.0.1" );
 
imap.Username = "dave@blah.com";
imap.Password = "test";
imap.Login();
 
//grab the inbox
MailFolder mf = imap.SelectInbox();
 
//get the information about the first message
FastItem item = mf.FetchClient.Fast( 1, IndexType.Ordinal );
 
imap.Disconnect();
 
//write out some informtion about the message
 
//size
Console.WriteLine( "Message size: {0}", item.MessageSize );
 
//message date as a string
Console.WriteLine( "String date: {0}", item.InternalDate);
 
//message date as a .NET DateTime
Console.WriteLine( "DateTime: {0}", item.Date.ToLongDateString() );
 
//message flags
Console.WriteLine( "Flags: {0}", item.Flags.ToString() );
 
//the complete layout of the FastItem
Console.WriteLine( item.ToString() );
 
Console.WriteLine( "Done" );
Console.ReadLine();
    

          [VB.NET]
Dim imap As New IMAP4("127.0.0.1")
 
imap.Username = "dave@blah.com"
imap.Password = "test"
imap.Login()
 
'grab the inbox
Dim mf As MailFolder = imap.SelectInbox()
 
'get the information about the first message
Dim item As FastItem = mf.FetchClient.Fast(1, IndexType.Ordinal)
 
imap.Disconnect()
 
'write out some informtion about the message
'size
Console.WriteLine("Message size: {0}", item.MessageSize)
 
'message date as a string
Console.WriteLine("String date: {0}", item.InternalDate)
 
'message date as a .NET DateTime
Console.WriteLine("DateTime: {0}", item.Date.ToLongDateString())
 
'message flags
Console.WriteLine("Flags: {0}", item.Flags.ToString())
 
'the complete layout of the FastItem
Console.WriteLine(item.ToString())
 
Console.WriteLine("Done")
Console.ReadLine()
