Reading email attachment

[WinHw]

Hi all, I'm trying to read the attachments both from inbox/send and stuck with that.

I already succeed to retrieve all other info (from, cc, bcc, subject, body, etc) and also succeed to read the MMS attachment, but when try to read the email attachment the attachment count always return 0.

Here is my code :

MMsvAttachmentManager& manager = store->AttachmentManagerL();
TInt count=manager.AttachmentCount();
//Where store is CMsvStore object
//This work with MMS but not with email

MMsvAttachmentManager& manager = emailMessage->AttachmentManager();
TInt count=manager.AttachmentCount();
//Where emailMessage is CImEmailMessage object
//This also not work for email, always return 0

Any suggestion?

Best regards,



WinHw

Wiki has good examples and it is good idea to start searching on Wiki first.

See this: How to retrieve e-mail contents

Then this: How to get the attachments from an EMail

My code is exactly the same as in the wiki, already check it before i'm posting, and as I wrote in my previous post, it always return 0 attachment. Anyone have tried this and succeed?

Hi, hope this can help you...

First, get all mailbox account available :
CEmailAccounts* emailAccount = CEmailAccounts::NewLC();

// this one to get POP3 maiblox
RArray<TPopAccount> pop3Accounts;
emailAccount->GetPopAccountsL(pop3Accounts);
//Loop as you wish until pop3Accounts.Count()
//This one get the mailbox id and name
TMsvId mailboxId = pop3Accounts[index].iPopService;
RBuf mailboxName;
mailboxName.CreateL(pop3Accounts[index].iPopAccountName);
pop3Accounts.Reset();

// this one to get IMAP4 maiblox
RArray<TImapAccount> imap4Accounts;
emailAccount ->GetImapAccountsL(imap4Accounts);
//Loop as you wish until pop3Accounts.Count()
//This one get the mailbox id and name
TMsvId mailboxId = imap4Accounts[index].iImapService;
RBuf mailboxName;
mailboxName.CreateL(imap4Accounts[index].iImapAccountName);
imap4Accounts.Reset();

//Cleanup
mailboxName.Close();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(emailAccount);

Then... we need the mailboxId to open the specified mailbox folder
CMsvEntry* msvEntry = iMsvSession->GetEntryL(mailboxId);
//if the mailbox is not empty
if(msvEntry->Count())
{
//sort the content of the mailbox folder by date
TMsvSelectionOrdering sort;
sort.SetShowInvisibleEntries(ETrue);
sort.SetSorting(EMsvSortByDateReverse);
msvEntry->SetSortTypeL(sort);
CMsvEntrySelection msvEntrySelection = msvEntry->ChildrenL();
//Loop until msvEntry->Count()
//the real email id
TMsvId emailId = msvEntry->ChildDataL(msvEntrySelection->At(index)).Id();

CMsvEntry* entry = iMsvSession->GetEntryL((*msvEntrySelection)[index]);
CleanupStack::PushL(entry); //this is the entry to the e-mail
//Check if the entry has store
if(entry->HasStoreL())
{
CMsvStore* store=entry->ReadStoreL();
CleanupStack::PushL(store);

//email header
CImHeader* header=CImHeader::NewLC();
header->RestoreL(*store);
//We already get the email header, check CImHeader class refrence to get the header contents
s CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(header);
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(store);
}

CParaFormatLayer* paraFormatLayer=CParaFormatLayer::NewL();
CCharFormatLayer* charFormatLayer=CCharFormatLayer::NewL();
CRichText* richText=CRichText::NewL(paraFormatLayer,charFormatLayer);
CImEmailMessage* emailMessage = CImEmailMessage::NewLC(*entry);
emailMessage->GetBodyTextL(emailId,CImEmailMessage::EThisMessageOnly,*richText,*paraFormatLayer,*charFormatLayer);
RBuf emailBody;
emailBody.CreateL(richText->DocumentLength());
emailBody.Zero();
richText->Extract(emailBody);

//Yes... finally we get the email body

//Cleanup
emailBody.Close();
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(emailMessage);
delete richText; richText=NULL;
delete charFormatLayer; charFormatLayer=NULL;
delete paraFormatLayer; paraFormatLayer=NULL;
CleanupStack::PopAndDestroy(entry);

Hi WinHw.
I'm facing the same problem. I want to retrieve an attachment from email message. Problem solved? If so - please give me an example. Thnx

If someone is still looking out for answer.

Check the attachment count after this line.

CImEmailMessage* emailMessage = CImEmailMessage::NewLC(*entry);

Hope it helps.
