Trying to delete mail using node-imap

问题

Trying to delete email in node.js using node-imap module.

I open the INBOX in read/write mode:

imap.openBox('INBOX', false, cb);

I then fetch all the messages:

var f = imap.seq.fetch("1:"+box.messages.total, {
      bodies: ['HEADER.FIELDS (FROM TO SUBJECT DATE)','TEXT'],
      struct: true
    });

I flag the mail to be deleted:

msg.on('end', function() {

    imap.seq.addFlags(seqno, '\\Deleted', function(err) { } );
  });

I close the mailbox with autopurge set to true

imap.closeBox(true);

But this doesn't work. What am I doing wrong?

回答1:

imap.setFlags() works with UIDs. imap.seq.setFlags() works with sequence numbers. Since it seems like you're trying to pass a sequence number, you should use the latter function instead.
