Method Detail

updateMessageColorLabel

void updateMessageColorLabel(java.lang.String fullName,
                           int colorLabel)
                             throws com.openexchange.exception.OXException

An optional method that updates the color label of all messages located in given folder.

If no mail could be found for a given mail ID, it is treated as a no-op.

The underlying mailing system needs to support some kind of user-definable flags to support this method. Otherwise this method should be left unchanged with an empty body.

The color labels are user flags with the common prefix "cl_" and its numeric color code appended (currently numbers 0 to 10).

Parameters:

fullName - The folder full name

colorLabel - The color label to apply

Throws:

com.openexchange.exception.OXException - If color label cannot be updated

updateMessageFlags

void updateMessageFlags(java.lang.String fullName,
                      int flags,
                      boolean set)
                        throws com.openexchange.exception.OXException

Updates the flags of all messages located in given folder. If parameter set is true the affected flags denoted by flags are added; otherwise removed.

If no mail could be found for a given mail ID, it is treated as a no-op.

System flags are:

• ANSWERED - This flag is set by clients to indicate that this message has been answered to.
• DELETED - Clients set this flag to mark a message as deleted. The expunge operation on a folder removes all messages in that folder that are marked for deletion.
• DRAFT - This flag is set by clients to indicate that the message is a draft message.
• FLAGGED - No semantic is defined for this flag. Clients alter this flag.
• RECENT - Folder implementations set this flag to indicate that this message is new to this folder, that is, it has arrived since the last time this folder was opened.
• SEEN - This flag is implicitly set by the implementation when the this Message's content is returned to the client in some form.Clients can alter this flag.
• USER - A special flag that indicates that this folder supports user defined flags.

If mail folder in question supports user flags (storing individual strings per message) the virtual flags can also be updated through this routine; e.g. MailMessage.FLAG_FORWARDED.

Moreover this routine checks for any spam related actions; meaning the MailMessage.FLAG_SPAM shall be enabled/disabled. Thus the SpamHandler#handleSpam(String, String[], boolean, MailAccess)/ SpamHandler#handleHam(String, String[], boolean, MailAccess) methods needs to be executed.

Parameters:

fullName - The folder full name

flags - The bit pattern for the flags to alter

set - true to enable the flags; otherwise false

Throws:

com.openexchange.exception.OXException - If system flags cannot be updated
