UID Ignored by IMAP Server

[yodarunamok]

This is my first time working with the plugin, and I've done some poking about the forum, but I can't find others with my issue.  I can call EmailReadMessages with uid as the only parameter, but apparently without effect.  In other words, all of the email messages come back, regardless of their relationship to the specified uid.  I am connecting via IMAP.  Have others seen this problem?  Any ideas?

 

Thanks!

I would use NodeJS or php using this approach for such a task: http://wethecomputerabusersamongst.blogspot.com/2013/10/execute-php-script-from-filemaker-with.html if you have to go on the client side of this.

 

Yet intercepting the server side SMTP side would be much more elegant in many cases, unless you are searching for 1 specific mail with a given ID.

I'll look at that...  According to the docs, what I'm doing should work though:

Chris, how are you getting the uids you're passing to EmailReadMessages? The right way to be doing so is by calling EmailReadMessageValue("uid") on the most recent email you've read and pass that to the next call. If you're doing this, then we'd probably need to see your logs to figure out what's going on here. You can send those into us either by submitting a bug report through the process laid out here or by finding it in one of the locations listed here.

 

Thanks
