Re: CFPop with specific folders?
Hi Qing Xia, If you wish to use cfimap w/ Gmail, here are a couple of things you may want to watch out for: - When polling Gmail, the item counts returned by cfimap may not match the same in Gmail (Gmail bug). - When retrieving emails from Gmail, an email labeled x times, may be downloaded x times (Gmail quirk). However, you should not see these issues if you use cfimap to connect to an IMAP-compliant mail server (instead of Gmail). Thanks!, -Aaron Neff say I want to download all email messages in my CFTalk folder off my Gmail account...how would I go about doing that? ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CFPop with specific folders?
Well, well, this just proves my theory--ColdFusion has a tag for EVERYTHING! [?] I've got CF8 running on my personal development machine because I am preparing for the certificate exam. I'm going to install CF9 instead and try this out! Thanks!! You guys are the best!

Re: CFPop with specific folders?
Good tips about gmail. Thanks Aaron! You're very welcome Leigh, and, likewise, thanks very much for the tip (the other day in the Adobe forums) about the undocumented cfpdfform 'name' attribute! I meant to follow-up on that thread w/ some more info, but lost track. I will tho.. soon! Hope the cfimap tag works for you Qing Xia!

Re: CFPop with specific folders?
- When polling Gmail, the item counts returned by cfimap may not match the same in Gmail (Gmail bug). You are right on this one, Aaron. Gmail groups messages by conversation, which is really just the email subject lines. For example, I've got this Gmail folder that has 8 conversations but 15 individual email messages. However, when I used CFImap to download all messages in that folder, I got only 10! Upon closer examination, I saw that this is because 5 of the email messages are from me myself but they got grouped in the conversations because they share the subject lines with those who legitimately belong in this folder. I guess if you think about this, it sort of makes sense since the email messages sent by me are really in the sent folder and they only appear in the conversation groups for the sake of completeness. But this grouping really does create confusion. - When retrieving emails from Gmail, an email labeled x times, may be downloaded x times (Gmail quirk). Yep, you are right on this, too. I guess this is another hazard of the Gmail system of virtual folders/labels, where a message can have multiple labels. Not necessarily a bad thing but definitely something to watch out for. However, you should not see these issues if you use cfimap to connect to an IMAP-compliant mail server (instead of Gmail). Yep, Yahoo has no problem with these issues since they don't allow 1-to-many relationship between email messages and folders. BTW, it is disappointing that CFImap does not allow lists in the folder attribute. You've got to use the cfimap action=GetHeaderOnly... tag twice to get two folders. Maybe something to add to the wish list for CF10! [?] Great ideas Aaron, thanks for sharing! Thanks Leigh for the code example, that really helped. ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

Re: CFPop with specific folders?
about the undocumented cfpdfform 'name' attribute! Funny, I did not even realize it was _not_ documented for cfpdfform until you said that. At least that explains why I did not suggest it originally. I was hoping it might just be an omission in the documentation. But I cannot tell much from the error messages. They are giving mixed signals ;-) 1) Required attributes: 'action,source'. Optional attributes: 'destination,name,overwrite,overwritedata,xmldata'. 2) Attribute validation error for tag CFPDFFORM. It does not allow the attribute(s) NAME. The valid attribute(s) are ACTION,FDFDATA,OVERWRITE,RESULT,SOURCE,XMLDATA. (Make up your mind folks..) -Leigh ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?

RE: CFPop with specific folders?
Does anyone know of a way to get/delete emails in a *specific* folder, of a POP email account? If memory serves, POP has no concept of folders. When you connect via POP, the server gives you access to the main inbox, but that is all. Any access to folders would have to be through another protocol such as IMAP, or as you mentioned, the Exchange-specific tags. Google does allow IMAP connections, but I have never tried to access Gmail via IMAP from ColdFusion. I would assume that it would work though. -Justin Scott ~| Want to reach the ColdFusion community with something they want?
