Overview
The original article is in Russian. You can find it here.
You can use class CUnreadMsgCalc for getting the count of unread messages and for tracking appearance of new messages.
This class also separately counts the number of unread emails from all mailboxes, registered on the current device (only already downloaded emails checked).
In order to obtain the required information, this class asynchronously creates session for interaction with the Message Server. This session is initialized in ConstructL().
Main methods:
- NewMsgCount() returns count of unread messages
- NewEmailCount() returns count of unread emails
- IsCalcCompleted() returns check result (calculation is completed or not)
