Description​

The IMAP New transporter command configures a new IMAP connection according to the server parameter and returns a new transporter object. The returned transporter object will then usually be used to receive emails.

In the server parameter, pass an object containing the following properties:

.acceptUnsecureConnection : Boolean
True if 4D is allowed to establish an unencrypted connection
False
.accessTokenOAuth2: Text
.accessTokenOAuth2: Object
Text string or token object representing OAuth2 authorization credentials. Used only with OAUTH2 authenticationMode. If accessTokenOAuth2 is used but authenticationMode is omitted, the OAuth 2 protocol is used (if allowed by the server). Not returned in IMAP transporter object.
none
.authenticationMode : Text
the authentication mode used to open the session on the mail server
the most secure authentication mode supported by the server is used
.checkConnectionDelay : Integer
the maximum time (in seconds) allowed prior to checking the connection to the server
300
.connectionTimeOut : Integer
the maximum wait time (in seconds) allowed to establish a connection to the server
30
.host : Text
the name or the IP address of the host server

.logFile : Text
the path of the extended log file defined (if any) for the mail connection

.port : Integer

.user : Text

Warning: Make sure the defined timeout is lower than the server timeout, otherwise the client timeout will be useless.

Result​

The function returns an IMAP transporter object. All returned properties are read-only.

The IMAP connection is automatically closed when the transporter object is destroyed.
