ImapException when purging

Hi,

calling Disconnect after MoveMessage doesn't work either (anyway it would not have been a valid solution to be doing Connect, Disconnect, Connect, Disconnect.. a lot of times).

Please could you made working your code in Outlook and reply me how to achieve it?

We need with urgent a fix for this.

Best regards.

This code doesn't work for me.

The line 

IsTrue(sys.ListMessages().Count == 0);

is false, I get 1 message from NewFolder folder.

I use rackspace mail server.

We have tested that code on our imap server, Gmail server and some other ones. Have you tried calling Disconnect() after the MoveMessage call? And then you  reconnect and continue your work?

Could you tell me anything about this issue please?

It's very important for us.

Thanks a lot, 

Best regards.

Just to comment that I have run your test against Outlook and it doesn't work neither.

Could you give any workaround please?

Thanks a lot,

Best regards.

You should only call the Purge method after you have deleted messages using the DeleteMessages method. The MoveMessages internally makes use of SelectFolder and you should not call Purge after calling that method.

You should call Select() to select the original folder after calling MoveMessage. PLease see the following test code:

[code lang='c#']Imap sys = new Imap();
sys.Connect("imap.gmail.com", 993, SecurityMode.Implicit);
sys.Authenticate("myemail@gmail.com", "password");
if (!sys.FolderExists("NewFolder"))
    sys.CreateFolder("NewFolder");
else
{
    sys.Select("NewFolder");
    sys.DeleteMessage(sys.ListMessages().ToUniqueIdMessageSet());
}
if (!sys.FolderExists("NewFolder2"))
    sys.CreateFolder("NewFolder2");
else
{
    sys.Select("NewFolder2");
    sys.DeleteMessage(sys.ListMessages().ToUniqueIdMessageSet());
}
string uniqueId = sys.UploadMessage("NewFolder", GetDataFile("spam.eml"));
ImapMessageSet set = new ImapMessageSet(uniqueId);
sys.Select("NewFolder");
sys.MoveMessage(set, "NewFolder2");
sys.Select("NewFolder");
IsTrue(sys.ListMessages().Count == 0);
sys.Select("NewFolder2");
IsTrue(sys.ListMessages().Count == 1);
sys.DeleteMessage(sys.ListMessages().ToUniqueIdMessageSet());
sys.Disconnect();[/code]

Hi support,

I want to share with you some findings (hopefully it will help you).

The error use to ocurr when I do the following:

1-. Imap.MoveMessage();

2-. Imap.Purge();

The documentation for Purge method says:

Overloaded. Permanently removes all the messages marked as deleted from the currently selected mail.

As you can see, it's supposes that I should call Purge only if I executed before Imap.DeleteMessage but this is not the truth, I was mandatory to call Purge after MoveMessage (otherwise the messages are always remained in the original mailbox folder).

Could this be the reason?

Best regards.

Please see this topic Add logging and send us the log file.

Hi Support,

this is the log file:

If I don't call Purge, the message is moved but it also remains in the original folder with status Delete  (works like a copy/paste) so if I query again the original foder the previously moved mail is returned again.

How can I permanently move a message without calling after Purge?
