Types

type Client 

type Client struct {

	// A channel to which unilateral updates from the server will be sent. An
	// update can be one of: *StatusUpdate, *MailboxUpdate, *MessageUpdate,
	// *ExpungeUpdate. Note that blocking this channel blocks the whole client,
	// so it's recommended to use a separate goroutine and a buffered channel to
	// prevent deadlocks.
	Updates chan<- Update

	// ErrorLog specifies an optional logger for errors accepting connections and
	// unexpected behavior from handlers. By default, logging goes to os.Stderr
	// via the log package's standard logger. The logger must be safe to use
	// simultaneously from multiple goroutines.
	ErrorLog imap.Logger

	// Timeout specifies a maximum amount of time to wait on a command.
	//
	// A Timeout of zero means no timeout. This is the default.
	Timeout time.Duration
	// contains filtered or unexported fields
}

Client is an IMAP client.

Example 
log.Println("Connecting to server...")

// Connect to server
c, err := client.DialTLS("mail.example.org:993", nil)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Println("Connected")

// Don't forget to logout
defer c.Logout()

// Login
if err := c.Login("username", "password"); err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Println("Logged in")

// List mailboxes
mailboxes := make(chan *imap.MailboxInfo, 10)
done := make(chan error, 1)
go func() {
	done <- c.List("", "*", mailboxes)
}()

log.Println("Mailboxes:")
for m := range mailboxes {
	log.Println("* " + m.Name)
}

if err := <-done; err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// Select INBOX
mbox, err := c.Select("INBOX", false)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Println("Flags for INBOX:", mbox.Flags)

// Get the last 4 messages
from := uint32(1)
to := mbox.Messages
if mbox.Messages > 3 {
	// We're using unsigned integers here, only substract if the result is > 0
	from = mbox.Messages - 3
}
seqset := new(imap.SeqSet)
seqset.AddRange(from, to)
items := []imap.FetchItem{imap.FetchEnvelope}

messages := make(chan *imap.Message, 10)
done = make(chan error, 1)
go func() {
	done <- c.Fetch(seqset, items, messages)
}()

log.Println("Last 4 messages:")
for msg := range messages {
	log.Println("* " + msg.Envelope.Subject)
}

if err := <-done; err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Println("Done!")

Output:

func Dial 

func Dial(addr string) (c *Client, err error)

Dial connects to an IMAP server using an unencrypted connection.

func DialTLS 

func DialTLS(addr string, tlsConfig *tls.Config) (c *Client, err error)

DialTLS connects to an IMAP server using an encrypted connection.

func DialWithDialer 

func DialWithDialer(dialer *net.Dialer, address string) (c *Client, err error)

DialWithDialer connects to an IMAP server using an unencrypted connection using dialer.Dial.

Among other uses, this allows to apply a dial timeout.

func DialWithDialerTLS 

func DialWithDialerTLS(dialer *net.Dialer, addr string,
	tlsConfig *tls.Config) (c *Client, err error)

DialWithDialerTLS connects to an IMAP server using an encrypted connection using dialer.Dial.

Among other uses, this allows to apply a dial timeout.

func New 

func New(conn net.Conn) (*Client, error)

New creates a new client from an existing connection.

func (*Client) Append 

func (c *Client) Append(mbox string, flags []string, date time.Time, msg imap.Literal) error

Append appends the literal argument as a new message to the end of the specified destination mailbox. This argument SHOULD be in the format of an RFC 2822 message. flags and date are optional arguments and can be set to nil.

func (*Client) Authenticate 

func (c *Client) Authenticate(auth sasl.Client) error

Authenticate indicates a SASL authentication mechanism to the server. If the server supports the requested authentication mechanism, it performs an authentication protocol exchange to authenticate and identify the client.

func (*Client) Capability 

func (c *Client) Capability() (map[string]bool, error)

Capability requests a listing of capabilities that the server supports. Capabilities are often returned by the server with the greeting or with the STARTTLS and LOGIN responses, so usually explicitly requesting capabilities isn't needed.

Most of the time, Support should be used instead.

func (*Client) Check 

func (c *Client) Check() error

Check requests a checkpoint of the currently selected mailbox. A checkpoint refers to any implementation-dependent housekeeping associated with the mailbox that is not normally executed as part of each command.

func (*Client) Close 

func (c *Client) Close() error

Close permanently removes all messages that have the \Deleted flag set from the currently selected mailbox, and returns to the authenticated state from the selected state.

func (*Client) Copy 

func (c *Client) Copy(seqset *imap.SeqSet, dest string) error

Copy copies the specified message(s) to the end of the specified destination mailbox.

func (*Client) Create 

func (c *Client) Create(name string) error

Create creates a mailbox with the given name.

func (*Client) Delete 

func (c *Client) Delete(name string) error

Delete permanently removes the mailbox with the given name.

func (*Client) Execute 

func (c *Client) Execute(cmdr imap.Commander, h responses.Handler) (*imap.StatusResp, error)

Execute executes a generic command. cmdr is a value that can be converted to a raw command and h is a response handler. The function returns when the command has completed or failed, in this case err is nil. A non-nil err value indicates a network error.

This function should not be called directly, it must only be used by libraries implementing extensions of the IMAP protocol.

func (*Client) Expunge 

func (c *Client) Expunge(ch chan uint32) error

Expunge permanently removes all messages that have the \Deleted flag set from the currently selected mailbox. If ch is not nil, sends sequence IDs of each deleted message to this channel.

Example 
// Let's assume c is a client
var c *client.Client

// Select INBOX
mbox, err := c.Select("INBOX", false)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// We will delete the last message
if mbox.Messages == 0 {
	log.Fatal("No message in mailbox")
}
seqset := new(imap.SeqSet)
seqset.AddNum(mbox.Messages)

// First mark the message as deleted
item := imap.FormatFlagsOp(imap.AddFlags, true)
flags := []interface{}{imap.DeletedFlag}
if err := c.Store(seqset, item, flags, nil); err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// Then delete it
if err := c.Expunge(nil); err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Println("Last message has been deleted")

Output:

func (*Client) Fetch 

func (c *Client) Fetch(seqset *imap.SeqSet, items []imap.FetchItem, ch chan *imap.Message) error

Fetch retrieves data associated with a message in the mailbox. See RFC 3501 section 6.4.5 for a list of items that can be requested.

Example 
// Let's assume c is a client
var c *client.Client

// Select INBOX
mbox, err := c.Select("INBOX", false)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// Get the last message
if mbox.Messages == 0 {
	log.Fatal("No message in mailbox")
}
seqset := new(imap.SeqSet)
seqset.AddRange(mbox.Messages, mbox.Messages)

// Get the whole message body
section := &imap.BodySectionName{}
items := []imap.FetchItem{section.FetchItem()}

messages := make(chan *imap.Message, 1)
done := make(chan error, 1)
go func() {
	done <- c.Fetch(seqset, items, messages)
}()

log.Println("Last message:")
msg := <-messages
r := msg.GetBody(section)
if r == nil {
	log.Fatal("Server didn't returned message body")
}

if err := <-done; err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

m, err := mail.ReadMessage(r)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

header := m.Header
log.Println("Date:", header.Get("Date"))
log.Println("From:", header.Get("From"))
log.Println("To:", header.Get("To"))
log.Println("Subject:", header.Get("Subject"))

body, err := ioutil.ReadAll(m.Body)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}
log.Println(body)

Output:

func (c *Client) IsTLS() bool

IsTLS checks if this client's connection has TLS enabled.

func (*Client) List 

func (c *Client) List(ref, name string, ch chan *imap.MailboxInfo) error

List returns a subset of names from the complete set of all names available to the client.

An empty name argument is a special request to return the hierarchy delimiter and the root name of the name given in the reference. The character "*" is a wildcard, and matches zero or more characters at this position. The character "%" is similar to "*", but it does not match a hierarchy delimiter.

func (*Client) LoggedOut 

func (c *Client) LoggedOut() <-chan struct{}

LoggedOut returns a channel which is closed when the connection to the server is closed.

func (*Client) Login 

func (c *Client) Login(username, password string) error

func (*Client) Logout 

func (c *Client) Logout() error

Logout gracefully closes the connection.

func (*Client) Lsub 

func (c *Client) Lsub(ref, name string, ch chan *imap.MailboxInfo) error

Lsub returns a subset of names from the set of names that the user has declared as being "active" or "subscribed".

func (*Client) Mailbox 

func (c *Client) Mailbox() *imap.MailboxStatus

Mailbox returns the selected mailbox. It returns nil if there isn't one.

func (*Client) Noop 

func (c *Client) Noop() error

It can be used as a periodic poll for new messages or message status updates during a period of inactivity. It can also be used to reset any inactivity autologout timer on the server.

func (*Client) Rename 

func (c *Client) Rename(existingName, newName string) error

Rename changes the name of a mailbox.

func (*Client) Search 

func (c *Client) Search(criteria *imap.SearchCriteria) (seqNums []uint32, err error)

Search searches the mailbox for messages that match the given searching criteria. Searching criteria consist of one or more search keys. The response contains a list of message sequence IDs corresponding to those messages that match the searching criteria. When multiple keys are specified, the result is the intersection (AND function) of all the messages that match those keys. Criteria must be UTF-8 encoded. See RFC 3501 section 6.4.4 for a list of searching criteria.

func (*Client) Select 

func (c *Client) Select(name string, readOnly bool) (*imap.MailboxStatus, error)

Select selects a mailbox so that messages in the mailbox can be accessed. Any currently selected mailbox is deselected before attempting the new selection. Even if the readOnly parameter is set to false, the server can decide to open the mailbox in read-only mode.

func (*Client) SetDebug 

func (c *Client) SetDebug(w io.Writer)

SetDebug defines an io.Writer to which all network activity will be logged. If nil is provided, network activity will not be logged.

func (*Client) SetState 

func (c *Client) SetState(state imap.ConnState, mailbox *imap.MailboxStatus)

SetState sets this connection's internal state.

This function should not be called directly, it must only be used by libraries implementing extensions of the IMAP protocol.

func (*Client) StartTLS 

func (c *Client) StartTLS(tlsConfig *tls.Config) error

StartTLS starts TLS negotiation.

Example 
package main

import (
	"crypto/tls"
	"log"

	"github.com/emersion/go-imap/client"
)

func main() {
	log.Println("Connecting to server...")

	// Connect to server
	c, err := client.Dial("mail.example.org:143")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	log.Println("Connected")

	// Don't forget to logout
	defer c.Logout()

	// Start a TLS session
	tlsConfig := &tls.Config{ServerName: "mail.example.org"}
	if err := c.StartTLS(tlsConfig); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	log.Println("TLS started")

	// Now we can login
	if err := c.Login("username", "password"); err != nil {
		log.Fatal(err)
	}
	log.Println("Logged in")
}

Output:

State returns the current connection state.

func (*Client) Status 

func (c *Client) Status(name string, items []imap.StatusItem) (*imap.MailboxStatus, error)

Status requests the status of the indicated mailbox. It does not change the currently selected mailbox, nor does it affect the state of any messages in the queried mailbox.

See RFC 3501 section 6.3.10 for a list of items that can be requested.

func (*Client) Store 

func (c *Client) Store(seqset *imap.SeqSet, item imap.StoreItem, value interface{}, ch chan *imap.Message) error

Store alters data associated with a message in the mailbox. If ch is not nil, the updated value of the data will be sent to this channel. See RFC 3501 section 6.4.6 for a list of items that can be updated.

Example 
// Let's assume c is a client
var c *client.Client

// Select INBOX
_, err := c.Select("INBOX", false)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

// Mark message 42 as seen
seqSet := new(imap.SeqSet)
seqSet.AddNum(42)
item := imap.FormatFlagsOp(imap.AddFlags, true)
flags := []interface{}{imap.SeenFlag}
err = c.Store(seqSet, item, flags, nil)
if err != nil {
	log.Fatal(err)
}

log.Println("Message has been marked as seen")
