Mailboxes Collection

The Mailboxes collection contains Mailbox objects used to examine properties of the IMAP4 mailboxes.

RetrieveMailboxes method of the IMAP4 object returns Mailboxes collection of all mailboxes in a user account.

Syntax

Mailboxes.property

Properties
Count	Returns the number of mailboxes in the collection.
Item	Returns a reference to a mailbox in the collection.

Remarks

Item is the default property of the collection, so Mailboxes.Item(index) and Mailboxes(index) are equivalents.

To iterate through the collection, you can use either For .. Each statement or any common loop statement such as For .. To.

Example

The following examples use different syntax to display names of all mailboxes in a user account. It's assumed the Mailboxes collection has been already retrieved and stored in objMailboxes object.

For .. Each syntax

For Each objMailbox In objMailboxes
  MsgBox objMailbox.Name
  ' In ASP, use Response.Write instead of MsgBox
Next

For .. To syntax

For I = 1 To objMailboxes.Count
  MsgBox objMailboxes(I).Name
  ' In ASP, use Response.Write instead of MsgBox
Next
