Syntax

C#
IEnumerable<MailMessage> GetMessages(
	IEnumerable<uint> uids,
	bool seen = true,
	string mailbox = null
)

Parameters

uids
Type: System.Collections.Generic..::..IEnumerable<(Of <(<'UInt32>)>)>
An enumerable collection of unique identifiers of the mail messages to retrieve.
seen (Optional)
Type: System..::..Boolean
Set this to true to set the \Seen flag for the fetched messages on the server.
mailbox (Optional)
Type: System..::..String
The mailbox the messages will be retrieved from. If this parameter is omitted, the value of the DefaultMailbox property is used to determine the mailbox to operate on.

Return Value

An enumerable collection of initialized instances of the MailMessage class representing the fetched mail messages.

Remarks

A unique identifier (UID) is a 32-bit value assigned to each message which uniquely identifies the message within the respective mailbox. No two messages in a mailbox share the same UID.

Examples

CopyC#
ImapClient Client = new ImapClient("imap.gmail.com", 993, "My_UsernamMe",

IEnumerable<uint> uids = Client.Search( SearchCondition.SentSince( new DateTime(2012, 6, 1) ) );

// Fetch the messages and print out their subject lines.
