mail::account
Native API referenceA mail::account
object represents a "mail account".
An account is
a collection of folders (mail::folder
objects).
The folders are arranged in a hierarchy, top to bottom.
A folder must be "opened", before messages in the folder can be read.
One folder, per account, can be opened at a time.
Opening another folder closes the previous folder.
mail::account
objects contain methods for
enumerating and navigating the mail::folder
objects,
and for accessing messages in the currently-open folder.
Most of the following mail::account
methods are
asynchronous.
They do not wait for the requested action to complete.
They accept a mail::callback
, or one of its
subclasses, as an argument.
A completed request results in invoking either the
success or the fail method of
the mail::callback
object.
The mail::account
methods return immediately even
if the request cannot be completed immediately.
The mail::account::process(3x) method handles
outstanding requests, and it will invoke the
success or the fail method when
the request is finally completed.
