Filters by date

[smallbitt]

Within the getMessageList request I'm trying this pattern:
filter: {
inMailboxes: [5],
after: [lastMsgDate]
}

but I get an error.
isn't "after" parameter supported yet?
if No, how can I retreive only new records without download whole list and checkdates with a loop?

Hello,

Thanks for your interest in jmap-client !

First question I need to ask is: what is your JMAP backend? As you may know, JMAP is a fairly new protocol that very few email backends implement, and when they do they do so on a subset of the specification. The most advanced implementation as of writing is Apache James, a Java mail server from the Apache foundation that is maintained by Linagora.
In James, requesting a message list with a after or before filter is fully supported, but it is not in other implementation that I'm aware of.

Other things you may check include:

• The format of the Date you're sending for the after filter. Dates must follow a specific format in JMAP.
• The format of the filter itself, especially if you mix operators (AND, OR, etc.) and conditions.
• The error returned, which should tell you what the problem is (invalid properties requested, invalid filter, non existent mailbox, etc.)

I hope this helps, and I'm looking forward to hear back from you on this.

David

Hello,

Unfortunately no, getMessageListUpdates and other related getXXXUpdates are not implemented yet, and the states mechanism isn't either. On the other hand, I don't think you can find a JMAP backend implementing this already...

If you want to help, we'll welcome your contribution :)

Regards,

I was wondering if getMessageListUpdates is implemented, it would help alot fetching only new messages.

I did implemented it successfully in your library :) my backend is a perl jmap proxy and it works good.
