SendCommand Method

public void SendCommand(
   string command, 
   object[] parameters
)

Public Sub SendCommand( _
   ByVal command As String,  _
   ByVal parameters As Object() _
)

public:
  void SendCommand(
   String^ command, 
   array<Object>^ parameters
);

Parameters

command

User-defined command text (without line terminator) (eg. "CAPABILITY").

parameters

List of parameters. Allowed types are String and a byte array.

Return Value

Remarks

After calling this method. You need to call the ReadResponse method to read the response of the server for the command you have sent.

If the specified parameters are string, they are sent without conversion. Byte array parameters are sent as literals - binary blocks of data. Having good understanding of IMAP protocol is strongly recommended when using this method.

Shows how to use the SendCommand and ReadResponse methods.
