B4J Question question on Building a mini "Email based server"

[juvanum]

Hello,
I'm trying the erel' solution " Building a mini Email based server".

1) If i use a gmail account ([email protected]) all run properly: the messages are downloaded only once and the messages are not deleted


2) If I use another account not google ([email protected]), the messages are downloaded every time

3) if I use microsoft outlook on the same account ([email protected]), the messages are downloaded only once and the messages are not deleted

Why (step 2) the same messages are downloaded always??

thank you

I don't remember the exact code however you should download the messages and set the last parameter in POP.DownloadMessage (Delete) to True.

Thanks Erel but I need them not to be deleted.
However I would like only the new messages to be downloaded.
the gogle account does it, other providers do not.

Sub pop_ListCompleted (Success As Boolean, Messages As Map)
    
    Log("list completed")   
    If Success Then
        If Messages.Size > 0 Then
            LogMessage("Found messages: " & Messages.Size)
             For Each id As Int In Messages.Keys
                pop.DownloadMessage(id, deleteMsg) 'if true message will be deleted from the server
                
            Next
            lastMsgId = id
        Else
            Log("No messages.")
        End If
    Else
       LogMessage("Error: " & LastException)
   
    End If   
    pop.Close 'this will close the connection after the messages were downloaded.
 
End Sub

This behavior depends on the mail server configuration. You will need to manage it yourself and track the already read messages.

I have sent the email to another account ([email protected]) and then eliminate it
