java.lang.Objectjavax.mail.Flags
The Flags class represents the set of flags on a Message. Flags are composed of predefined system flags, and user defined flags.
A System flag is represented by the Flags.Flag
inner class. A User defined flag is represented as a String.
User flags are case-independent.
A set of standard system flags are predefined. Most folder
implementations are expected to support these flags. Some
implementations may also support arbitrary user-defined flags. The
getPermanentFlags
method on a Folder returns a Flags
object that holds all the flags that are supported by that folder
implementation.
A Flags object is serializable so that (for example) the use of Flags objects in search terms can be serialized along with the search terms.
Warning: Serialized objects of this class may not be compatible with future JavaMail API releases. The current serialization support is appropriate for short term storage.
The below code sample illustrates how to set, examine and get the flags for a message.
Message m = folder.getMessage(1); m.setFlag(Flags.Flag.DELETED, true); // set the DELETED flag // Check if DELETED flag is set of this message if (m.isSet(Flags.Flag.DELETED)) System.out.println("DELETED message"); // Examine ALL system flags for this message Flags flags = m.getFlags(); Flags.Flag[] sf = flags.getSystemFlags(); for (int i = 0; i < sf.length; i++) { if (sf[i] == Flags.Flag.DELETED) System.out.println("DELETED message"); else if (sf[i] == Flags.Flag.SEEN) System.out.println("SEEN message"); ...... ...... }
