Fetch emmail headers & selective deletion

 [1/7] from: philb::upnaway::com at: 22-Aug-2003 20:59


Hi, Dont know if this is of any use to anyone .... but I have created a view front end to the code below. It will also allow selection & deletion of Emails that have yet to be downloaded from the your POP server. http://www.upnaway.com/~philb/philip/headers.r Usefull if someone sends you a very large email that you dont want to (or cant) download. Any comments/suggestions are welcome .... *** Warning *** Obviously take care when deleting email from the server ... you cant get it back! Also take care not to run more than 1 copy of the program at once .... *** Warning *** Cheers Phil === Original Message === Hi Rene, Think you can do it. Cant remeber where this code came from .... (RT I think) -------------------------------------------------------------------- attempt: does [ pop: open pop://user:[password--mail--server--com]/ lv-msgs: pop/locals/msg-nums foreach mesg-num lv-msgs [ print ["Message" mesg-num] insert pop/sub-port rejoin [ "TOP " pick pop/locals/msg-nums pop/state/index + mesg-num " 0" ] net-utils/confirm pop/sub-port [ none "+OK" ] headers: pop/handler/read-til-dot pop make string! 1024 lv-em: import-email headers print lv-em/date ] close pop ] attempt -------------------------------------------------------------------- Just need to add the deletion code. Cheers Phil === Original Message === Hi Rene, RSB> I try to write a "fetchmail"-clone. In the "library" I found some few-liners RSB> for deleting mail on the RSB> mail-server.

I'm not a POP expert by any means, but I think you're going to have to either use TOP or RETR to get the information you want, in order to decide if you want to delete the message. In REBOL, you open the mailbox, import each message, analyze it, and remove it if desired. Using TOP might work as well. Maybe Graham, Phil, or another mail expert can be more helpful. -- Gregg

very cool ... could there be a timeout for refresh, so the list is refreshed periodically at a given period? :-) -pekr-

Hi Petr, You can specify a refresh period (as well as use the refresh button) .... so the list automatically updates itself. version (1.0.1) Cheers Phil === Original Message === [philb--upnaway--com] wrote:

Phil: Could you pass the code (as is -and any changes) in the text of an e-mail. I can't down load it from the URL. Thanks Dr. J. J. "So far right, I can't see center" Harbaugh [philb--upnaway--com] wrote:
