Summary
Allows users to send their own command directly to the server at run time.
Description
This property can be used to send commands directly to the server. The command will be sent "as is", it is the applications responsibility to validate the command.
The server's reply will be delivered in an OnDirect event.
This property can only be set at runtime when a connection has been established. There is no default value for this property.
Note: This property is supplied to allow the user to send any commands that are not supported by the ActiveX to the server. This property is not a substitute for existing methods and should not be
used as such. In particular this property should not be used to disconnect as the ActiveX control will not be aware of the action. This property can not be used until a connection has been
established using the Connect or FwConnect method
The application can set the size of the buffer that would receive the reply from the IMAP server in the DirectBufSize property. If the buffer is not large enough to hold the entire reply from the
server the IMAP ActiveX control will fire an error (ERR_IMAP_INSUFFICIENT_LENGTH) and the OnDirect method will be fired only with the truncated data. The application at this point can check the
DirectBufSize property to find out the required length of the buffer.
Example
' do kerberos authentication
Cmd = "a001 AUTHENTICATE KERBEROS_v4" + Chr(13) + Chr(10)
Imap.DirectCmd = Cmd
