GetHeaders Method

Retrieves the headers for the specified message from the server.

Syntax

object.GetHeaders( MessageNumber, Headers )

Remarks

The GetHeaders method is used to retrieve the message headers from the server and copy it into a local buffer. This method will cause the current thread to block until the article transfer completes, a timeout occurs or the transfer is canceled. During the transfer, the OnProgress event will fire periodically, enabling the application to update any user interface objects such as a progress bar.

MessageNumber
Number of article to retrieve from the server. This value must be greater than zero. The first message in the mailbox is message number one.
Headers
A string or byte array which will contain the data transferred from the remote server when the method returns.

Note that the header data will be from the first part of the message, not from any additional sections of a multipart message. In other words, the headers such as From, To, Subject and Date will be returned in the buffer. To retrieve the headers from a specific section of a multipart message, you can use the GetMessage method and specify the imapSectionHeader option.

Return Value

A value of zero is returned if the method was successful. Otherwise, a non-zero error code is returned which indicates the cause of the failure.
