Hi,

how can I set a message as read / unread? My code does not work:

  int UID;
  if (IdIMAP4->StoreFlags(UID,sdAddSilent,mfSeen))
    ShowMessage("Success");
  else
    ShowMessage("Error");

Can you help me please? I'm using C++Builder 6.

Just saying it does not work says nothing about the actual problem you are
having.  Always provide specific details.

That will not compile.  You need to use the following instead:

    int UID = some actual value;
    if( IdIMAP4->StoreFlags(OPENARRAY(int, (UID)), sdAddSilent,
TIdMessageFlagsSet() << mfSeen) )

Alternatively, use UIDStoreFlags() instead:

    int UID = some actual value;
    if( IdIMAP4->UIDStoreFlags(IntToStr(UID), sdAddSilent,
TIdMessageFlagsSet() << mfSeen) )

Hmm..
I receive the error "Invalid UID Store attribute". But I tried also the 
following code without success:

  TIdMessageFlagsSet MsgFlags;
  String UID = "8";
  IdIMAP4->UIDRetrieveFlags(UID, MsgFlags);

  if (IdIMAP4->UIDStoreFlags(UID, sdReplaceSilent, MsgFlags >> mfSeen))
  ...

What's wrong? Thank you for your help.

That is a server error.  You are not supplying the proper parameter values
for the command.

> But I tried also the following code without success:

Where exactly is it failing?  Is UIDRetrieveFlags() succeeding at all?  What
happens if you don't change the flags silently?  Did you verify that you are
specifying a valid UID to begin with?

What should I do? I have used your code.
PS: I have captured the network traffic:
----------
C29 UID FETCH 1 (FLAGS)
* 1 FETCH (FLAGS (\Seen) UID 1)
C29 OK Completed (0.000 sec)
C30 UID STORE 1  ()
C30 BAD Invalid UID Store attribute
----------

> Is UIDRetrieveFlags() succeeding at all?
Yes! No problems.

The same error if I don't change the message flags.. and the UID is valid. 
Should I test the code with an other imap server?

It would appear that both StoreFlags() and UIDStoreFlags() suffer from the
same bug - TIdIMAP4 is not constructing the command properly.  Until the bug
is fixed, try using the non-silent methods.  In other words, use sdAdd or
sdReplace instead of sdAddSilent or sdReplaceSilent, respectively.

Ok, thank you very much! It works. :-)
