Problem with saving edited message using IMAP about mailkit HOT 15 CLOSED

Is this GMail? If so, once you add the Deleted flag, GMail moves the message to the Trash folder so client.Inbox.Expunge(...) won't do anything.

(Note: unless you change GMail's user Settings to make it behave like a normal IMAP server).

Yes this is gmail, the client i'm developing will be used for alot of IMAPs
What are your suggestions?

from mailkit.

I don't know what can be done. You'll have to experiment. Maybe you can expunge the Trash folder.

from mailkit.

I have tried expunging the Trash folder after moving it, still shows as a reply or a thread, I'm really confused and don't know where the problem is...

from mailkit.

Does GMail support ImapCapabilities.Replace? If so, you can use client.Inbox.Replace() methods.

What is IReplaceRequest ? How to use this inside this method?
Edit: GMail doesn't support replace ..

from mailkit.

The ReplaceRequest class implements the IReplaceRequest interface.

from mailkit.

I tried it and it does nothing, either with a MimeMessage or a ReplaceRequest..
Maybe if you know an existing solution or someone who have done this before so I could investigate further?

from mailkit.

I don't know if anyone trying to do what you are trying to do.

I'm just trying to edit a message and save the new version of it (in-place) or atleast delete older one, add the new one but with old date etc, but if same subject it will still bring old one for some reason idk why..

from mailkit.

Instead of deleting the message on GMail, move it to the Trash folder (which will return the uid of the message as it will be in the Trash folder). Then open the Trash folder and expunge that uid.

In other words:

var trash = client.GetFolder (SpecialFolder.Trash);
var trashUid = client.Inbox.MoveTo(uid, trash);
trash.Open(FolderAccess.ReadWrite);
trash.Expunge(new UniqueId[] { trashUid });

from mailkit.

I tried your code..
The message gets moved to trash, but the expunge doesn't do anything
Anyway continued with the code, and when saving new messages, it shows the old message without the new edits.

from mailkit.

Sounds like it's just a feature of GMail then.

What you are trying to do is very non-standard behavior outside of Draft messages saved in the Drafts folder.

from mailkit.

So other IMAPs will work as expected using the whole code discussed here?

from mailkit.

Yes
