I'm using Imap with node.js, and every time i connect it, it fetch al the emails from a data i gave it, but doens't mark them as read, so the following time it re-fecth them again.
Here is my code(All the functions implemented here are called in a main.js file), what can I change to mark the e-mail I'm fetching as read?
I've tried to do like written here (how to mark unseen email as seen with node-imap in node.js) but it didn't work..
var Imap = require('imap');
var inspect = require('util').inspect;
var formatter = require('./formatter.js');
var mailError = exports.mailError = [];
var imap = new Imap({
user: 'aaaaaaaaa@gmail.com',
password: 'xxxxxxx',
host: 'imap.gmail.com',
port: 993, //Perchè non 143, standard IMAP?
tls: true,
markSeen: true
});
function openInbox(cb) {
imap.openBox('INBOX', false, cb);
}
var onBodyCb = exports.onBodyCb = function(parsedHeaders, body){
var pos = (body.indexOf("Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:") + 55);
var address = body.substr(pos,50);
var at = address.indexOf("@");
address = address.substr(0,at+formatter.company.length+formatter.domain.length+2);
address = address.replace(/ /g,'');
address = address.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm,"");
console.log("onBodyCB: "+address+'\n');
mailError.push(address);
};
var onFinishedFetching = exports.onFinishedFetching = function(){};
imap.once('ready', function() {
var fs = require('fs'), fileStream;
openInbox(function(err, box) {
if (err) throw err;
imap.search([ 'UNSEEN', ['SINCE', 'July 10, 2014'] ], function(err, results) {
if (err) throw err;
// a questo abbiamo la box a cui possiamo accedere
var f = imap.fetch(results, { bodies: '' });
f.on('message', function(msg, seqno) {
//console.log('Message #%d', seqno);
var prefix = '(#' + seqno + ') ';
msg.on('body', function(stream, info) {
console.log(prefix + 'Body');
var buffer = '';
stream.on('data', function(chunk) {
buffer += chunk.toString('utf8');
});
//console.log(buffer);
stream.once('end', function() {
//console.log(prefix + 'Parsed header: %s', inspect());
var header = Imap.parseHeader(buffer);
exports.onBodyCb(header, buffer);
});
});
//msg.once('attributes', function(attrs) {
// console.log(prefix + 'Attributes: %s', inspect(attrs, false, 8));
//});
msg.once('end', function() {
//console.log(prefix + 'Finished');
});
});
f.once('error', function(err) {
console.log('Fetch error: ' + err);
});
f.once('end', function() {
console.log('Done fetching all messages!');
imap.end();
exports.onFinishedFetching();
});
});
});
});
imap.once('error', function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
imap.once('end', function() {
console.log('Connection ended');
});
exports.connect = function(){
imap.connect();
};
EDIT:
I've changed as suggested but it still doesn't work...
var Imap = require('imap');
var inspect = require('util').inspect;
var formatter = require('./formatter.js');
var mailError = exports.mailError = [];
var imap = new Imap({
user: 'marco.loco.recruiter@gmail.com',
password: 'coci2014',
host: 'imap.gmail.com',
port: 993, //Perchè non 143, standard IMAP?
tls: true,
markSeen : true,
markRead : true
});
function openInbox(cb) {
imap.openBox('INBOX', false, cb);
}
var onBodyCb = exports.onBodyCb = function(parsedHeaders, body){
var pos = (body.indexOf("Delivery to the following recipient failed permanently:") + 55);
var address = body.substr(pos,50);
var at = address.indexOf("@");
address = address.substr(0,at+formatter.company.length+formatter.domain.length+2);
address = address.replace(/ /g,'');
address = address.replace(/(\r\n|\n|\r)/gm,"");
console.log("onBodyCB: "+address+'\n');
mailError.push(address);
};
var onFinishedFetching = exports.onFinishedFetching = function(){};
imap.once('ready', function() {
var fs = require('fs'), fileStream;
openInbox(function(err, box) {
if (err) throw err;
imap.search([ 'UNSEEN', ['SINCE', 'July 10, 2014'] ], function(err, results) {
if (err) throw err;
// a questo abbiamo la box a cui possiamo accedere
var f = imap.fetch(results, { bodies: '' });
f.on('message', function(msg, seqno) {
//console.log('Message #%d', seqno);
var prefix = '(#' + seqno + ') ';
msg.on('body', function(stream, info) {
//console.log(prefix + 'Body');
var buffer = '';
stream.on('data', function(chunk) {
buffer += chunk.toString('utf8');
});
//console.log(buffer);
stream.once('end', function() {
//console.log(prefix + 'Parsed header: %s', inspect());
var header = Imap.parseHeader(buffer);
exports.onBodyCb(header, buffer);
});
});
//msg.once('attributes', function(attrs) {
// console.log(prefix + 'Attributes: %s', inspect(attrs, false, 8));
//});
msg.once('end', function() {
//console.log(prefix + 'Finished');
});
});
f.once('error', function(err) {
console.log('Fetch error: ' + err);
});
f.once('end', function() {
console.log('Done fetching all messages!');
imap.end();
exports.onFinishedFetching();
});
});
},false);
});
imap.once('error', function(err) {
console.log(err);
});
imap.once('end', function() {
console.log('Connection ended');
});
exports.connect = function(){
imap.connect();
};
This is old question, but I had the same problem today. in the imap.seq.fetch call, there needs to be markSeen:true besides the bodies:"" . it should look like fetch(results,{bodies:"", markSeen:true}) –
And don't forget to open the Inbox in read-write mode as so many have said. imap.openBox('INBOX', false, cb)
