OriginalName Property

Gets the original mailbox name as it's provided by the IMAP server (not decoded from UTF-7M). This property always contains original mailbox name and doesn't matter if UTF7EncodeMailboxNames is set to False or True.

It's recommended to set UTF7EncodeMailboxNames property to False and use this property value as a mailbox name when passing it to a method (like SelectMailbox, ExamineMailbox, AppendMessage or any other which accepts the mailbox name as a parameter). This will allow you to avoid various issues if your IMAP server doesn't support UTF-7M encoding for mailbox names.

At the same time, use Name property to display human-readable name of the mailbox. In other words, IMAP servers understand OriginalName while human users understand Name. This is valid if UTF7EncodeMailboxNames is False.

Value Type:	String

Parameters:	None

Remarks:	This property is read-only

Usage example:

' This sample gets the list of all mailboxes and selects the last mailbox.
' Then, it displays the number of messages in that mailbox.

Dim Mailer, Mailboxes
'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.LicenseKey = "put your license key here"
If Mailer.Connect("mailserver.com", 143, "MyName", "MyPassword") Then
  ' Turn off encoding of mailbox names when submitting them to the server
  Mailer.UTF7EncodeMailboxNames = False
  Set Mailboxes = Mailer.RetrieveMailboxes
  If Not Mailboxes Is Nothing Then
    If Mailboxes.Count > 0 Then
      If Mailer.SelectMailbox(Mailboxes(Mailboxes.Count).OriginalName) Then
        MsgBox Mailer.MessageCount & " messages in " & Mailboxes(Mailboxes.Count).Name
      End If
    End If
  End If
  Mailer.Disconnect
End If
