I build my mail server using the MailInABox and now I am building an email client. I want to make a functionality of delete a particular email from the trash folder. I want the mail is permanently deleted from the mail server. This is my code-
imap.once(“ready”, () => {
imap.openBox(“Trash”, true, (err, box) => {
if (err) throw err;
// Search for the email(s) you want to delete (e.g., by message ID)
const messageId = "message-id";
imap.search(
[["HEADER", "MESSAGE-ID", messageId]],
(err, searchResults) => {
if (err) throw err;
// Check if any emails are found
if (searchResults.length === 0) {
imap.end();
return;
}
imap.addFlags(searchResults, "\\Deleted", (err) => {
if (err) throw err;
imap.expunge(searchResults,(err) => {
if (err) throw err;
console.log("Email(s) deleted permanently");
imap.end();
});
});
}
);
});
});
imap.once(“error”, (err) => {
console.error(err);
});
imap.connect();
