ExamineMailbox Method

Selects specified mailbox on the IMAP4 server for read-only access.

This method is identical to SelectMailbox method with only exception that no changes of mailbox state are allowed (adding or removing messages, setting flags, etc.).

To get available mailboxes list, use RetrieveMailboxes method.

If mailbox names you're dealing with may contain non-English characters, please read UTF7EncodeMailboxNames topic to make sure everything's done right.

blnResult = ObjectName.ExamineMailbox(MailboxName)


Parameters:
MailboxName As String	Name of the mailbox to select

Return value As Boolean	True if successful, False if error has occurred. You can check ErrDesc property or log file to get more detailed error information

Usage example:

' This sample examines "Inbox" mailbox and displays total number of messages there

Dim Mailer
'Using visual basic to create object
Set Mailer = CreateObject("MailBee.IMAP4")
'Using ASP to create object
'Set Mailer = Server.CreateObject("MailBee.IMAP4")
'In ASP use Response.Write instead of MsgBox

Mailer.EnableLogging = True ' Logging helps to discover any problems
Mailer.LogFilePath = "C:\Temp\imap4_log.txt"
