Search Example

The following example demonstrates using aspNetIMAP to search the FROM address for the domain "Microsoft.com"

By default, the IMAP protocol does not allow searching for the entire address, only parts of it. To search for an entire address, an IMAP formatted querystring must be created. Check out this Search Example II, to see how this is accomplished.

[C#]

IMAP4 imap = new IMAP4( "127.0.0.1", "dave@blah.com", "test"  );  
 
//set some logging properties  
imap.Logger = new IMAPLog(); 
imap.Logger.Overwrite = true; 
imap.Logger.InMemory = true; 
imap.Logger.Path = "c:\\imap.log"; 
 
imap.Login();  
 
MailFolder mf = imap.SelectInbox();
 
string results = mf.SearchClient.SearchFrom( "microsoft.com" );
 
Console.WriteLine( results );
 
imap.Disconnect();  
 
//write out the log 
Console.WriteLine( imap.Logger.ToString() ); 
 
Console.WriteLine( "Done" );  
Console.ReadLine();

[VB.NET]

 Dim imap As New IMAP4("127.0.0.1", "dave@blah.com", "test")
  
 'set some logging properties  
 imap.Logger = New IMAPLog()
 imap.Logger.Overwrite = True
 imap.Logger.InMemory = True
 imap.Logger.Path = "c:\imap.log"
  
 imap.Login()
  
 Dim mf As MailFolder = imap.SelectInbox()
  
 Dim results As String = mf.SearchClient.SearchFrom("microsoft.com")
  
 Console.WriteLine(results)
  
 imap.Disconnect()
  
 'write out the log 
 Console.WriteLine(imap.Logger.ToString())
  
 Console.WriteLine("Done")
 Console.ReadLine()
