ImapUtils.GetImapDateString Method (DateTime)

ImapUtilsGetImapDateString Method (DateTime)

Returns the string containing the specified date value in the IMAP4 format.

Namespace: MailBee.ImapMail
Assembly: MailBee.NET (in MailBee.NET.dll) Version: 12.5.0 build 687 for .NET 4.5

Syntax

public static string GetImapDateString(
	DateTime dt
)

Public Shared Function GetImapDateString ( 
	dt As DateTime
) As String

Parameters

dt: Type: SystemDateTime
The date and time value to return the date for.

Return Value

Type: String
The IMAP4 date string in "dd-MMM-yyyy" format.

Remarks

This method can be used to build "search by date" expressions when using Search(Boolean, String, String) or BeginSearch(Boolean, String, String, AsyncCallback, Object) methods. The IMAP4 protocol allows the client to search messages only by dates, not by exact datetime values.

Examples

This sample prints the current date of the local computer as IMAP4-formatted string.

    static void Main(string[] args)

    }
}
