Exporting Low-Level API to a DLL using MSVC

Hi,

I've recently begun looking into libetpan for coding my own little 
application. As I want to try to develop some disconnected imap functionality 
I'll probably be using the low-level imap api. At the moment libetpan barely 
exports any low-level symbols when compiling a dll using msvc. Is there a 
special cause to this or is just noone using the low-level api on windows?

Regards,
Michael

It is just that no one is using the low-level API on windows since 
libetpan was first designed for Unix flavour.

As I'm using it anyway, should I make my modification available? As I'm pretty 
new to windows programming I have no idea if this would bloat the executable 
using the dll... the lib grows. You could also use defines to enable the 
different low-level apis if you need them like
#ifdef WINDOWS_DLL
#define EXPORT_LOWLEVEL_IMAP LIBETPAN_EXPORT
#endif

or something similar.

you can make your modifications available.
I don't need any EXPORT_LOWLEVEL_IMAP things.
You can write a patch to enable low-level API always.

Thanks,

get the MIME structure of the message.

- display multipart/mixed in the given order.
- display multipart/parallel in any order.
- display one sub-part of the multipart/alternative (for example, if 
    there is an HTML part, display it)

it is not possible.
You need to retrieve the entire MIME structure before telling the use 
whether the user should consider if there are attachments or not.
(note that for example a multipart/alternative part with text/plain 
text/html does not contain an attachment).

struct mailimap_mailbox_list {
  struct mailimap_mbx_list_flags * mb_flag; /* can be NULL */
  char mb_delimiter;
  char * mb_name; /* != NULL */
};

enum {
  MAILIMAP_MBX_LIST_SFLAG_ERROR,
  MAILIMAP_MBX_LIST_SFLAG_MARKED,
  MAILIMAP_MBX_LIST_SFLAG_NOSELECT,
  MAILIMAP_MBX_LIST_SFLAG_UNMARKED

if you got the message using _get_messages_list(), then
_fetch_envelopes_list(), you don't need mailmessage_get_flags()..

Do the following :

{
  mailmessage * msg

  /* get the message */

  msg->msg_flags->fl_flags = msg->msg_flags->fl_flags &
    MAIL_FLAGS_DELETED;

  mailmessage_check(msg);

  /* do multiples messages flags modifications ... */

  mailfolder_check(msg);
}

Re: mailimap_lsub problem

Tnx Mr. Dinh

I always get the mb_flag pointer value as NULL. I have 7 folders on an 
imap server only one of these is not NULL but is a selectable folder ( a 
folder I can connect on).

Mybe is a server side problem ??

Tnx,
