uidSortMessages method

Future<SortImapResult> uidSortMessages(String sortCriteria, [ String searchCriteria = 'ALL', String charset = 'UTF-8', List<ReturnOption>? returnOptions, ])

Sorts messages by the given criteria

sortCriteria the criteria used for sorting the results like 'ARRIVAL' or 'SUBJECT' searchCriteria the criteria like 'UNSEEN' or 'RECENT' charset the charset used for the searching criteria When augmented with zero or more returnOptions, requests an extended search. The server needs to expose the SORT capability for this command to work.

Implementation

Future<SortImapResult> uidSortMessages(String sortCriteria,
    [String searchCriteria = 'ALL',
    String charset = 'UTF-8',
    List<ReturnOption>? returnOptions]) {
  final hasReturnOptions = returnOptions != null;
  final parser = SortParser(true, hasReturnOptions);
  Command cmd;
  final buffer = StringBuffer('UID SORT ');
  if (hasReturnOptions) {
    buffer..write('RETURN (')..write(returnOptions!.join(' '))..write(') ');
  }
  buffer
    ..write('(')
    ..write(sortCriteria)
    ..write(') ')
    ..write(charset)
    ..write(' ')
    ..write(searchCriteria);
  final cmdText = buffer.toString();
  buffer.clear();
  final sortLines = cmdText.split('\n');
  if (sortLines.length == 1) {
    cmd = Command(cmdText);
  } else {
    cmd = Command.withContinuation(sortLines);
  }
  return sendCommand<SortImapResult>(cmd, parser);
