Get EGroupware's ID for a just-sent email

[ngegw]

Given code like the following:

$mailObject = new Mailer($this->profileID);
$mailObject->addHeader(‘Subject’,…);
…
$mailObject->send();

What is the best way to get EGroupware’s ID for this mail, such that I can
pass it on to mail_ui::generateRowID()?

I’ve tried reading the headers like this:
$headers = $this->getHeaders($_folder, 0, 1, Horde_Imap_Client::SORT_DATE,
false, array());
$message_ID = $headers[‘header’][0][‘uid’];

where $_folder is the Sent folder, but that seems to be inconsistent,
sometimes working and sometimes returning the ID for an email sent 10
minutes prior.

Thanks,
Nathan

Hello Nathan,

I think you need to get the “Message-ID” from the header you added, you can do that by:
$message_id = $this->getHeader(‘Message-ID’).

Then you have all you need to generate EGroupware’s ID for the mail consisting of profileID+folderName+message_id.

Regarding the second question ( the getHeaders), there are two things:

1- The start message should be set to 1 instead of 0

2- For the sort criteria you need to use string ‘date’ instead of Horde_Imap_Client::SORT_DATE

Something like this:
$headers = $this->getHeaders($_folder, 1, 1, ‘date’, false, array());

Hi Nathan,

Just a correction to my previous answer, my answer to your first question is wrong because the Message-ID is not the UID which you actually need to get. In order to get the uid you need to save the message to send folder and then get the uid from the saved message. We already have a method for it in Mail class, it’s called appendMessage() and returns uid.

That’s what I needed, thanks.
