Getting message attachments

Upon retrieving an email message from a mailbox you can get any attachments to the email using the GetAttachments method. Any attachments found are returned as an Enumeration.

Example

[C#]

myImap.Connect();

IEnumerator e = myImap.GetMessages();

while(e.MoveNext()) {

       EmailMessage message = (EmailMessage)e.Current;

       // get attachments for email

       IEnumerator ea = message.GetAttachments();

       while(ea.MoveNext()) {

               Attachment a = (Attachment)ea.Current;

               // get name of attached file

               String filename = a.GetFilename();

               // get data for attached file

               byte[] data = a.GetFileData();

               // process the attachment

       }

}

[Visual Basic]

myImap.Connect()

Dim e As IEnumerator = myImap.GetMessages()

Dim message As EmailMessage = Nothing

While (e.MoveNext())

       message = e.Current

       Dim a As IEnumerator = message.GetAttachments()

       While (a.MoveNext())

               attachment = a.Current

               ' get name of attached file

               Dim filename As String = attachment.GetFilename()

               ' get data for attached file

               Dim data As Byte() = attachment.GetFileData()

               ' process the attachment

       End While

End While
