POP3ListMessages (socket,messagenumber{0 to list all},list[,stsproc]) Returns status
Note: The flag is set according to whether Omnis was able to make a call to this external command.
This Web command is multi-threaded, allowing another thread to execute in the multi-threaded server while it runs. Note that the same socket cannot safely be used concurrently by more than one thread.
POP3ListMessages lists the messages on a POP3 server. Note that the list excludes any messages marked for deletion (see POP3DeleteMessage). You can either list an individual message, or all messages not marked for deletion.
Socket is an Omnis Long Integer field containing a socket opened to a POP3 server using POP3Connect.
MessageNumber is an Omnis Long Integer field which identifies the message to be listed. Message numbers are assigned by the POP3 server, after you call POP3Connect, starting with 1 for the first message, 2 for the second, and so on.
To list all messages, pass 0 as the MessageNumber argument. Otherwise, MessageNumber must identify a single message which is not marked for deletion.
List is an Omnis list field defined to have 2 long integer columns. POP3ListMessages clears the list, and then adds a line to the list for each message. Column 1 receives the message number, and column 2 receives the message size in bytes.
StsProc is an optional parameter containing the name of an Omnis method that POP3ListMessages calls with status messages. POP3ListMessages calls the method with no parameters, and the status information in the variable #S1. The status information logs protocol messages exchanged on the connection to the server.
Status is an Omnis Long Integer field which receives the result of executing the command. Possible error codes are listed in the Web Command Error Codes Appendix.
# List details of all messages for user lUserName not marked for
# deletion on the POP3 server lServer in lMailList
Calculate lServer as 'my.pop3.server'
Calculate lUserName as 'myusername'
Calculate lPassword as 'mypassword'
POP3Connect (lServer,lUserName,lPassword) Returns iSocket
Do lMailList.$define(lMsgNum,lMsgSize)
POP3ListMessages (iSocket,0,lMailList) Returns lStatus
