Description
Retrieves or deletes e-mail messages from a POP mail server.
Category
Syntax
<cfpop server = "server name" action = "getHeaderOnly|getAll|delete|markRead" attachmentPath = "path" debug = "yes|no"> generateUniqueFilenames = "yes|no" maxRows = "number" messageNumber = "number" name = "query name" password = "password" port = "port number" secure = "yes|no"> startRow = "number" timeout = "seconds" uid = "number" delimeter = "delimeter char" username = "user name">
You can specify this tag's attributes in an attributeCollection attribute whose value is a structure. Specify the structure name in the attributeCollection attribute and use the tag's attribute names as structure keys.

History
ColdFusion 11: New action, markRead is supported. New attribute delimeter.
ColdFusion 10: Added attribute {{secure}}
ColdFusion MX 7.01: Added cids query variable.
ColdFusion MX 6.1:
- Added support for multipart mail messages with Text and HTML parts.
- Changed the attachment name separator: the TAB character is now the separator between attachment names in the attachments and attachmentfiles query fields if a message has multiple attachments. This behavior is identical to ColdFusion 5 and earlier versions.
ColdFusion MX: Changed the attachment name separator: the comma separates names in the attachments and attachmentfiles query fields if a message has multiple attachments.

Usage
The cfpop tag retrieves one or more mail messages from a POP server and populates a ColdFusion query object with the resulting messages, one message per row. Alternatively, it deletes one or more messages from the POP server.
When the cfpop tag encounters malformed mail messages, it does not generate errors; instead, it returns empty fields.
To optimize performance, two retrieve options are available. Message header information is typically short, and therefore quick to transfer. Message text and attachments can be long, and therefore take longer to process
The attachmentpath attribute
Use the following syntax to specify an in-memory directory in the attachmentpath attribute. In-memory files speed processing of transient data.
ram:///path
The path can include multiple directories, for example ram:///petStore/mail/attachments You must create the directories in the path before you specify the file. For more information on using in-memory files, see Working with in-memory files in Optimizing ColdFusion applications in the Developing ColdFusion Applications.
The cfpop query variables
The following table describes the variables that provide information about the query that is returned by cfpop:
Variable names |
Description |
---|---|
queryname.recordCount |
Number of records returned by query. |
queryname.currentRow |
Current row that cfoutput is processing. |
queryname.columnList |
List of column names in query. |
Query message header and body columns
The following table lists the message header and body columns that are returned if action = "getHeaderOnly" or "getAll":
Column name |
getHeaderOnly returns |
getAll returns |
---|---|---|
queryname.date |
yes |
yes |
queryname.from |
yes |
yes |
queryname.messagenumber |
yes |
yes |
queryname.messageid |
yes |
yes |
queryname.replyto |
yes |
yes |
queryname.subject |
yes |
yes |
queryname.cc |
yes |
yes |
queryname.to |
yes |
yes |
queryname.body |
no |
yes |
queryname.textBody |
no |
yes |
queryname.HTMLBody |
no |
yes |
queryname.header |
yes |
yes |
queryname.attachments |
no |
yes |
queryname.attachmentfiles |
no |
yes |
queryname.UID |
yes |
yes |
queryname.cids |
no |
yes |
If the mail message includes a part with a Content-Type of text/plain, the queryname.textBody column contains the part's message content. If the mail message includes a part with a Content-Type of text/HTML, the queryname.HTMLBody column contains the part's message content. If no Content-Type matches these types, the columns are empty. The queryname.Body column always contains the first message body found.
The queryname.attachments column contains a tab-separated list of all the attachment names. The queryname.attachmentfiles column contains a tab-separated list of the locations of the attachment files. Use the cffile tag to delete these temporary files when you have processed them.
To create a ColdFusion date/time object from the date-time string that is extracted from a mail message in the queryname.date column, use the following table:
Locale |
How to create a ColdFusion date/time object from queryname.date |
---|---|
English (US) |
Use the ParseDateTime function. If you specify the pop-conversion attribute, the function adjusts the date/time object to UTC. |
Other |
Extract the date part of string; pass it to the LSParseDateTime function. |
To set the default display format of date, time, number, and currency values, use the SetLocale function. |
For more information on cfpop, see Sending and Receiving E-Mail in the Developing ColdFusion Applications.
Example
<h3>cfpop Example</h3> <p>cfpop lets you retrieve and manipulate mail in a POP3 mailbox. This view-only example shows how to create one feature of a mail client, to display the mail headers in a POP3 mailbox. <p>To execute this, un-comment this code and run with a mail-enabled CF Server. <cfif structKeyExists(form, "server")> <!--- Make sure server, username are not empty. ---> <cfif len(trim(form.server)) and len(trim(form.username))> <cfpop server = "#form.popserver#" username = "#form.username#" password = "#form.pwd#" action = "getHeaderOnly" name = "GetHeaders"> <h3>Message Headers in Your Inbox</h3> <p>Number of Records: <cfoutput>#GetHeaders.recordCount#</cfoutput></p> <ul> <cfoutput query = "GetHeaders"> <li>Row: #currentRow#: From: #From# -- Subject: #Subject# </cfoutput> </ul> </cfif> </cfif> <form action = "cfpop.cfm " method = "post"> <p>Enter your mail server:</p> <p><input type = "Text" name = "popserver"></p> <p>Enter your username:</p> <p><input type = "Text" name = "username"></p> <p>Enter your password:</p> <p><input type = "password" name = "pwd"></p> <p><input type = "Submit" name = "get message headers"></p> </form>
