NAME

mail::ACCOUNT::translatePath - Convert readable folder path to internal folder path

SYNOPSIS

 
 
 
 #include <libmail/sync.H>
 
 mail::ACCOUNT *mail;
 
std::string path=mail->translatePath(std::string folderPath);

USAGE

This function converts a human-readable representation of a folder's path to the internal folder path in the mail account. For example, IMAP server mailboxes use names encoded in a modified version of the UTF-7 character set, and this method converts a folder path from the application's character set to the modified UTF-7 character set. Specifically:

IMAP[1]


folderPath is converted from application's character set to the modified UTF-7 character set.

SMAP


folderPath is converted from application's character set to UTF-8. The forward slash character, "/" separates names of individual folders in the SMAP hierarchy. Unicode/ISO-10646 characters that cannot be represented in the application's character set may be specified as "%n;", where n is a decimal Unicode value. Use "\/" to specify a forward slash character in the folder name, "\\" to specify a backslash character, and "\%" to specify the "%" character.

mbox mail folders, and maildirs


folderPath is converted from application's character set to modified UTF-7 encoding. The forward slash character, "/" separates names of individual folders in the local mail folder hierarchy. Unicode/ISO-10646 characters that cannot be represented in the application's character set may be specified as "%n;", where n is a decimal Unicode value. Use "\\" to specify a backslash character, and "\%" to specify the "%" character.

RETURN CODES AND CALLBACKS

This function returns the converted path string. An empty string is returned if folderPath is not a valid folder path.
