Reads the header of last email received:
  • via the POP3 or IMAP protocol: the email is found in the in-box on the messaging server.
  • WINDEVWEBDEV - Server code via the Lotus Notes or Outlook messaging software: the incoming email is found on the local computer in the in-box of Lotus Notes or Outlook.
The variables of the Email structure (or the properties of a variable of type Email) corresponding to the message header are specified.
This function is useful when reading the email is linked to the message size for example.
The Email.Out variable is set to True if no email is found.
Reminder: Before reading an email, it is necessary to open a session with EmailStartSession, EmailStartNotesSession or EmailStartOutlookSession.
Java The POP3 protocol can only be used to read emails.
Example
Example with the Email structure
// Deletes the emails sent by "black-listed" senders
 
EmailStartPOP3Session("user", "secret", "pop.mycompany.fr")
 
// Browse the emails
// Read the header only
IF EmailReadLastHeader("user") THEN
LOOP
// Does the sender belong to
// a "black list"?
IF BlackListedSender(Email.SenderAddress) OR ...
BlackListedSender(Email.Sender) THEN
// If the email is "black-listed", delete it
// Then, the "authorized" emails can
// be entirely read later
EmailDeleteMessage("user")
END
DO WHILE EmailReadPreviousHeader("user")
END
Example with an Email variable
// Deletes the emails sent by "black-listed" senders
 
MySession is emailPOP3Session
MySession.ServerAddress = "pop.mycompany.us"
MySession.Name = "user"
MySession.Password = "secret"
EmailStartSession(MySession)
 
// Browse the emails
FOR EACH EmailMessage OF MySession
// Does the sender belong to
// a "black list"?
IF BlackListedSender(EmailMessage..SenderAddress) OR ...
BlackListedSender(EmailMessage..Sender) THEN
// If the email is "black-listed", delete it
// Then, the "authorized" emails can
// be entirely read later
EmailDeleteMessage(MySession, EmailMessage)
END
END
