Hi All, Okay - another newbie question for the group - I've made great progress in creating a very simple application that tries to do the following (it is mostly based on the "folder-lister" sample program in the "tests" directory): 1. Hook up to an account store that maps to one of my Gmail accounts - DONE! 2. Recurse my way through all the folders of that Gmail account - DONE! 3. When finding a folder called "Inbox", do an async folder refresh - DONE! 4. After the refresh of the Inbox folder, do an async get headers - DONE! 5. For each header in the header callback function, do an async get msg - DONE! 6. For each msg in the msg callback function, dump out its main text body - NOT DONE... :( This is meant to be a very simple console app that does NOT use any of the TinyMail UI framework!!!!! All I want to do is grab the main "text/plain" mime parts of the messages in the Inbox of a Gmail account - and I'm oh-so-close... ! But, there is obviously a little bit of a disconnect - from looking at the zillions of APIs in the main TinyMail library (libtinymail main .h and .c files) - and reading the very good documentation that I could find, and looking at the class diagrams, and trying to do a little reverse engineering of the sample implementations (although all the samples are GUI-based), I THOUGHT I could just take a TnyMsg (which I get in the callback function I specify in the "tny_folder_get_msg_async" function) and then get its mime parts (using the "tny_mime_part_get_parts" function) - then once I saw any mime part whose content type is "text/plain", I could then grab the raw text of that mime part. BUT (and here's the disconnect) - when I try to iterate through the mime parts, I find the iterator is empty! The callback function looks something like this (note that I'm not trying to actually get the body of any message, at least not yet): static void msg_received_callback (TnyFolder *folder, gboolean cancelled, TnyMsg *msg, GError *err, gpointer user_data) { // announce that we got an Inbox message! g_print ("msg_received_callback => Got an Inbox message:\n"); // just for yucks, show the url string associated with this message... gchar * l_url_string = tny_msg_get_url_string (msg); g_print (" => url_string : %s\n", l_url_string); // time to get to the MEAT of this message - we start out by // first getting all the mime parts of this message... TnyList * l_mime_parts = tny_simple_list_new (); tny_mime_part_get_parts (TNY_MIME_PART (msg), l_mime_parts); TnyIterator * iter = tny_list_create_iterator (l_mime_parts); while (!tny_iterator_is_done (iter)) { // okay - we have some mime part of this message - show its content type... TnyMimePart * l_mime_part = TNY_MIME_PART (tny_iterator_get_current (iter)); const gchar * l_mime_part_content_type = tny_mime_part_get_content_type (l_mime_part); g_print (" => mime_part content type : %s\n", l_mime_part_content_type); g_object_unref (l_mime_part); // well, we're done with this mime part - onto the next one... tny_iterator_next (iter); } // we're done with the iterator and the message mime parts, so cleanup... g_object_unref (iter); g_object_unref (l_mime_parts); } In the above code, the url_string for the message gets dumped out and is exactly correct - in fact, I can run over to the account store on disk and literally type out each retrieved message - all looks good. BUT - when I try to get the mime parts for the message, I don't see ANY mime parts dumped out! When stepping through with gdb, I see that the "tny_camel_mime_part_get_parts_default" function eventually gets called - and this function doesn't seem to want to add any mime parts to the list that I pass into it. But I'm not exactly sure why this is the case. So, my conclusion is that I'm (yet again) doing something wrong - so can anyone help point me down the right path again? I know all the GUI-based demos will implement some TnyMsgView - but this is part of the TinyMailUI framework - and I want to try and avoid this, if at all possible - so shouldn't I be able to just use the TinyMail base framework (no UI stuff) for the simple case of just retrieving all the message bodies of a folder? It seems like I should be able to use the default CAMEL-based implementations to do what I want to do - at least I think I should be able to do this - and it looks like I am oh-so-close right now... Basically, if you just want to get the basic text body of a message, what are the 3 simple steps (or whatever) that you need to do? Again, I'm just trying to create a really, really simple console app that does not have a fancy UI - or any UI, for that matter - I'm going to be creating a C++ wrapper library that just allows our applications to get messages from an inbox - and also notified when any change happens to the inbox (new messages show up or an existing message is deleted, etc.). Thank you in advance for any advice / help you can provide to me. Sincerely, Steve Rosen |
