Delete email messages

[AndreLigeiro]

Hi,

How can I delete an email?
What I'm doing wrong?
Thks.

fetch = imap.fetch(req.params.id, {request: {headers:true, body:false } });

            fetch.on('message', function(msg)
            {
                msg.on('end', function() {
                    console.log("Flags: " + msg.flags);
                    msg.flags.push("\\Deleted");
                    console.log("Flags: " + msg.flags);
                });         
            });

            fetch.on('end', function()
            {
                imap.logout(cb);
                imap.closeBox(function(err) {
                if (err)
                    console.log(err);});

}

You should be closing the box first before logging out.

I try that but it not works. Any other suggestion?

Oops, overlooked the part where you were adding the flag. Here's the simplest way to delete a message and then log out:

imap.addFlags(req.params.id, 'Deleted', function(err) {
  if (err) return cb(err);
  imap.closeBox(function(err) {
    if (err) return cb(err);
    imap.logout(cb);
  });
});

Thanks a lot. :)

I use the node 0.10.5 , imap@0.7.11. yahoo email ssl:993. get this error:

Error: The flag "Deleted" is not allowed by the server for this mailbox

imap._state.box.permFlags is empty.

@AndreLigeiro Would it be possible to show how you initialized 'req' here? I'm trying to achieve something similar but I'm unsure of what object would have the params.id. I do a call like 'f.on('message', function(msg, seqno) {' but msg doesn't seem to have it. I'm trying to build off of the example listed in https://github.com/mscdex/node-imap

Thanks!!
