IMAP: Mailbox Id and mail keywords
4D v20 brings two very useful features to IMAP Transporters!
Interacting with some IMAP mail servers and clients requires to manage custom keywords in mails, and benefit from some of their specific features.
We also added the mailbox ID support in our IMAP Transporter so that you can identify a given mailbox even after it is renamed.
POP3: Download the Mail Header Only
When retrieving email messages using POP3, it’s possible to retrieve just the message headers (which include information such as the sender, subject, and date) without downloading the entire message body.
Retrieving just the message headers can be helpful when you want to quickly scan the list of messages in your mailbox to decide which ones to download and read in full.
Starting with 4D v20, a new parameter is added to the .getMail() function of the POP3 transporter to receive your emails without the body. This function can be even more helpful if you use Gmail because it does not trigger the deletion of read emails.
Microsoft 365: Create, delete, and rename mail folders with the Microsoft Graph API
To access the data in Microsoft 365, like emails, Microsoft is deprecating Basic authentication for IMAP and POP3 and is increasingly promoting the Graph API.
With this last set of functions that includes all the features to manage folders from the 4D v20, you have in 4D NetKit a set of functions to manage your mailboxes by programming with the Microsoft Graph API.
Microsoft 365: Copy, Move, Reply and Delete emails with the Microsoft Graph API
To access the data in Microsoft 365 like emails, Microsoft is deprecating Basic authentication for IMAP and POP3 and is increasingly promoting the Graph API.
From v19 R8, you now have new built-in commands in 4D NetKit to natively automate Microsoft 365 emails operations, such as copy, move, reply and delete emails.
Microsoft 365: Receive Emails with the Microsoft Graph API
To access the data in Microsoft 365 like emails, Microsoft is deprecating Basic authentication for IMAP and POP3 and is increasingly promoting the Graph API.
4D v19 R3 brought the 4D Netkit component to manage the OAuth 2.0 connection and the mail sending through the Graph API.
In the v19 R8, we add new commands to receive emails and list your mailbox folders.
Microsoft 365: Send Emails
We know the importance of sending emails, and the fact that it’s a common task in today’s applications. Many people working with Office 365 have asked us for an API to send emails via the Microsoft Graph API. The OAuth 2.0 feature was a prerequisite for connecting to the Microsoft server and for introducing commands to retrieve user information. We are glad to proceed with email management, starting with the send email command.
4D and Microsoft 365 access
In the 4D v18 R6, 4D introduced OAuth 2.0 authentication to access emails through IMAP, SMTP, or POP3 transporters. Starting with 4D v19 R3, 4D continues to implement OAuth 2.0 protocol and provides a way to request easily by programming a token from the Microsoft identity platform to connect to the API for Microsoft 365.
