Net::IMAP
implements Internet Message Access Protocol (IMAP
) client functionality. The protocol is described in [IMAP].
IMAP
Overview
An IMAP
client connects to a server, and then authenticates itself using either authenticate()
or login()
. Having authenticated itself, there is a range of commands available to it. Most work with mailboxes, which may be arranged in an hierarchical namespace, and each of which contains zero or more messages. How this is implemented on the server is implementation-dependent; on a UNIX server, it will frequently be implemented as files in mailbox format within a hierarchy of directories.
To work on the messages within a mailbox, the client must first select that mailbox, using either select()
or (for read-only access) examine()
. Once the client has successfully selected a mailbox, they enter selected state, and that mailbox becomes the current mailbox, on which mail-item related commands implicitly operate.
Messages have two sorts of identifiers: message sequence numbers and UIDs.
Message sequence numbers number messages within a mailbox from 1 up to the number of items in the mailbox. If a new message arrives during a session, it receives a sequence number equal to the new size of the mailbox. If messages are expunged from the mailbox, remaining messages have their sequence numbers “shuffled down” to fill the gaps.
UIDs, on the other hand, are permanently guaranteed not to identify another message within the same mailbox, even if the existing message is deleted. UIDs are required to be assigned in ascending (but not necessarily sequential) order within a mailbox; this means that if a non-IMAP client rearranges the order of mailitems within a mailbox, the UIDs have to be reassigned. An IMAP
client thus cannot rearrange message orders.
Examples of Usage
List sender and subject of all recent messages in the default mailbox
imap = Net::IMAP.new('mail.example.com') imap.authenticate('LOGIN', 'joe_user', 'joes_password') imap.examine('INBOX') imap.search(["RECENT"]).each do |message_id| envelope = imap.fetch(message_id, "ENVELOPE")[0].attr["ENVELOPE"] puts "#{envelope.from[0].name}: \t#{envelope.subject}" end
Move all messages from April 2003 from “Mail/sent-mail” to “Mail/sent-apr03”
imap = Net::IMAP.new('mail.example.com') imap.authenticate('LOGIN', 'joe_user', 'joes_password') imap.select('Mail/sent-mail') if not imap.list('Mail/', 'sent-apr03') imap.create('Mail/sent-apr03') end imap.search(["BEFORE", "30-Apr-2003", "SINCE", "1-Apr-2003"]).each do |message_id| imap.copy(message_id, "Mail/sent-apr03") imap.store(message_id, "+FLAGS", [:Deleted]) end imap.expunge
Thread
Safety
Net::IMAP
supports concurrent threads. For example,
imap = Net::IMAP.new("imap.foo.net", "imap2") imap.authenticate("cram-md5", "bar", "password") imap.select("inbox") fetch_thread = Thread.start { imap.fetch(1..-1, "UID") } search_result = imap.search(["BODY", "hello"]) fetch_result = fetch_thread.value imap.disconnect
This script invokes the FETCH command and the SEARCH command concurrently.
Errors
An IMAP
server can send three different types of responses to indicate failure:
- NO
-
the attempted command could not be successfully completed. For instance, the username/password used for logging in are incorrect; the selected mailbox does not exist; etc.
- BAD
-
the request from the client does not follow the server’s understanding of the
IMAP
protocol. This includes attempting commands from the wrong client state; for instance, attempting to perform a SEARCH command without having SELECTed a current mailbox. It can also signal an internal server failure (such as a disk crash) has occurred. - BYE
-
the server is saying goodbye. This can be part of a normal logout sequence, and can be used as part of a login sequence to indicate that the server is (for some reason) unwilling to accept your connection. As a response to any other command, it indicates either that the server is shutting down, or that the server is timing out the client connection due to inactivity.
These three error response are represented by the errors Net::IMAP::NoResponseError
, Net::IMAP::BadResponseError
, and Net::IMAP::ByeResponseError
, all of which are subclasses of Net::IMAP::ResponseError
. Essentially, all methods that involve sending a request to the server can generate one of these errors. Only the most pertinent instances have been documented below.
Because the IMAP
class uses Sockets for communication, its methods are also susceptible to the various errors that can occur when working with sockets. These are generally represented as Errno
errors. For instance, any method that involves sending a request to the server and/or receiving a response from it could raise an Errno::EPIPE error if the network connection unexpectedly goes down. See the socket(7), ip(7), tcp(7), socket(2), connect(2), and associated man pages.
Finally, a Net::IMAP::DataFormatError
is thrown if low-level data is found to be in an incorrect format (for instance, when converting between UTF-8 and UTF-16), and Net::IMAP::ResponseParseError
is thrown if a server response is non-parseable.

def self.add_authenticator(auth_type, authenticator)
@@authenticators[auth_type] = authenticator
end
Adds an authenticator for Net::IMAP#authenticate
. auth_type
is the type of authentication this authenticator supports (for instance, “LOGIN”). The authenticator
is an object which defines a process() method to handle authentication with the server. See Net::IMAP::LoginAuthenticator
, Net::IMAP::CramMD5Authenticator
, and Net::IMAP::DigestMD5Authenticator
for examples.
If auth_type
refers to an existing authenticator, it will be replaced by the new one.

Creates a new Net::IMAP
object and connects it to the specified host
.
options
is an option hash, each key of which is a symbol.
The available options are:
- port
-
Port number (default value is 143 for imap, or 993 for imaps)
- ssl
-
If options is true, then an attempt will be made to use SSL (now TLS) to connect to the server. For this to work
OpenSSL
[OSSL] and the RubyOpenSSL
[RSSL] extensions need to be installed. If options is a hash, it’s passed toOpenSSL::SSL::SSLContext#set_params
as parameters. open_timeout
-
Seconds to wait until a connection is opened
The most common errors are:
- Errno::ECONNREFUSED
-
Connection refused by
host
or an intervening firewall. - Errno::ETIMEDOUT
-
Connection timed out (possibly due to packets being dropped by an intervening firewall).
- Errno::ENETUNREACH
-
There is no route to that network.
SocketError
-
Hostname not known or other socket error.
Net::IMAP::ByeResponseError
-
The connected to the host was successful, but it immediately said goodbye.

def add_response_handler(handler = nil, &block)
raise ArgumentError, "two Procs are passed" if handler && block
@response_handlers.push(block || handler)
end
Adds a response handler. For example, to detect when the server sends a new EXISTS response (which normally indicates new messages being added to the mailbox), add the following handler after selecting the mailbox:
imap.add_response_handler { |resp| if resp.kind_of?(Net::IMAP::UntaggedResponse) and resp.name == "EXISTS" puts "Mailbox now has #{resp.data} messages" end }
# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.0.5/lib/net/imap.rb, line 701

args = []
if flags
args.push(flags)
end
args.push(date_time) if date_time
args.push(Literal.new(message))
send_command("APPEND", mailbox, *args)
end
Sends a APPEND command to append the message
to the end of the mailbox
. The optional flags
argument is an array of flags initially passed to the new message. The optional date_time
argument specifies the creation time to assign to the new message; it defaults to the current time. For example:
imap.append("inbox", <<EOF.gsub(/\n/, "\r\n"), [:Seen], Time.now) Subject: hello From: shugo@ruby-lang.org To: shugo@ruby-lang.org hello world EOF
A Net::IMAP::NoResponseError
is raised if the mailbox does not exist (it is not created automatically), or if the flags, date_time, or message arguments contain errors.

send_string_data(s)
put_string(CRLF)
end
end
end
Sends an AUTHENTICATE command to authenticate the client. The auth_type
parameter is a string that represents the authentication mechanism to be used. Currently Net::IMAP
supports the authentication mechanisms:
LOGIN:: login using cleartext user and password. CRAM-MD5:: login with cleartext user and encrypted password (see [RFC-2195] for a full description). This mechanism requires that the server have the user's password stored in clear-text password.
For both of these mechanisms, there should be two args
: username and (cleartext) password. A server may not support one or the other of these mechanisms; check capability()
for a capability of the form “AUTH=LOGIN” or “AUTH=CRAM-MD5”.
Authentication is done using the appropriate authenticator object: see @@authenticators for more information on plugging in your own authenticator.
For example:
imap.authenticate('LOGIN', user, password)
A Net::IMAP::NoResponseError
is raised if authentication fails.

def capability
synchronize do
send_command("CAPABILITY")
return @responses.delete("CAPABILITY")[-1]
end
end
Sends a CAPABILITY command, and returns an array of capabilities that the server supports. Each capability is a string. See [IMAP] for a list of possible capabilities.
Note that the Net::IMAP
class does not modify its behaviour according to the capabilities of the server; it is up to the user of the class to ensure that a certain capability is supported by a server before using it.
# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.0.5/lib/net/imap.rb, line 715
def check
send_command("CHECK")
end
Sends a CHECK command to request a checkpoint of the currently selected mailbox. This performs implementation-specific housekeeping; for instance, reconciling the mailbox’s in-memory and on-disk state.
# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.0.5/lib/net/imap.rb, line 722

Sends a CLOSE command to close the currently selected mailbox. The CLOSE command permanently removes from the mailbox all messages that have the Deleted flag set.
# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.0.5/lib/net/imap.rb, line 855
def copy(set, mailbox)
copy_internal("COPY", set, mailbox)
end
Sends a COPY command to copy the specified message(s) to the end of the specified destination mailbox
. The set
parameter is a number, an array of numbers, or a Range
object. The number is a message sequence number.

send_command("EXAMINE", mailbox)
end
end
Sends a EXAMINE command to select a mailbox
so that messages in the mailbox
can be accessed. Behaves the same as select()
, except that the selected mailbox
is identified as read-only.
A Net::IMAP::NoResponseError
is raised if the mailbox does not exist or is for some reason non-examinable.

def fetch(set, attr, mod = nil)
return fetch_internal("FETCH", set, attr, mod)
end
Sends a FETCH command to retrieve data associated with a message in the mailbox.
The set
parameter is a number or a range between two numbers, or an array of those. The number is a message sequence number, where -1 represents a ‘*’ for use in range notation like 100..-1 being interpreted as ‘100:*’. Beware that the exclude_end?
property of a Range
object is ignored, and the contents of a range are independent of the order of the range endpoints as per the protocol specification, so 1…5, 5..1 and 5…1 are all equivalent to 1..5.
attr
is a list of attributes to fetch; see the documentation for Net::IMAP::FetchData
for a list of valid attributes.
The return value is an array of Net::IMAP::FetchData
or nil (instead of an empty array) if there is no matching message.
For example:
p imap.fetch(6..8, "UID") #=> [#<Net::IMAP::FetchData seqno=6, attr={"UID"=>98}>, \\ #<Net::IMAP::FetchData seqno=7, attr={"UID"=>99}>, \\ #<Net::IMAP::FetchData seqno=8, attr={"UID"=>100}>] p imap.fetch(6, "BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (SUBJECT)]") #=> [#<Net::IMAP::FetchData seqno=6, attr={"BODY[HEADER.FIELDS (SUBJECT)]"=>"Subject: test\r\n\r\n"}>] data = imap.uid_fetch(98, ["RFC822.SIZE", "INTERNALDATE"])[0] p data.seqno #=> 6 p data.attr["RFC822.SIZE"] #=> 611 p data.attr["INTERNALDATE"] #=> "12-Oct-2000 22:40:59 +0900" p data.attr["UID"] #=> 98

Use idle_done()
to leave IDLE.
If timeout
is given, this method returns after timeout
seconds passed. timeout
can be used for keep-alive. For example, the following code checks the connection for each 60 seconds.

def list(refname, mailbox)
synchronize do
send_command("LIST", refname, mailbox)
return @responses.delete("LIST")
end
end
Sends a LIST command, and returns a subset of names from the complete set of all names available to the client. refname
provides a context (for instance, a base directory in a directory-based mailbox hierarchy). mailbox
specifies a mailbox or (via wildcards) mailboxes under that context. Two wildcards may be used in mailbox
: ‘*’, which matches all characters including the hierarchy delimiter (for instance, ‘/’ on a UNIX-hosted directory-based mailbox hierarchy); and ‘%’, which matches all characters except the hierarchy delimiter.
If refname
is empty, mailbox
is used directly to determine which mailboxes to match. If mailbox
is empty, the root name of refname
and the hierarchy delimiter are returned.
The return value is an array of Net::IMAP::MailboxList
. For example:
imap.create("foo/bar") imap.create("foo/baz") p imap.list("", "foo/%") #=> [#<Net::IMAP::MailboxList attr=[:Noselect], delim="/", name="foo/">, \\ #<Net::IMAP::MailboxList attr=[:Noinferiors, :Marked], delim="/", name="foo/bar">, \\ #<Net::IMAP::MailboxList attr=[:Noinferiors], delim="/", name="foo/baz">]
# File tmp/rubies/ruby-3.0.5/lib/net/imap.rb, line 442
def login(user, password)
send_command("LOGIN", user, password)
end
Sends a LOGIN command to identify the client and carries the plaintext password
authenticating this user
. Note that, unlike calling authenticate()
with an auth_type
of “LOGIN”, login()
does not use the login authenticator.
A Net::IMAP::NoResponseError
is raised if authentication fails.

Sends a SEARCH command to search the mailbox for messages that match the given searching criteria, and returns message sequence numbers. keys
can either be a string holding the entire search string, or a single-dimension array of search keywords and arguments. The following are some common search criteria; see [IMAP] section 6.4.4 for a full list.
- <message set>
-
a set of message sequence numbers. ‘,’ indicates an interval, ‘:’ indicates a range. For instance, ‘2,10:12,15’ means “2,10,11,12,15”.
- BEFORE <date>
-
messages with an internal date strictly before <date>. The date argument has a format similar to 8-Aug-2002.
- BODY <string>
-
messages that contain <string> within their body.
- CC <string>
-
messages containing <string> in their CC field.
- FROM <string>
-
messages that contain <string> in their FROM field.
- NEW
-
messages with the Recent, but not the Seen, flag set.
- NOT <search-key>
-
negate the following search key.
- OR <search-key> <search-key>
-
“or” two search keys together.
- ON <date>
-
messages with an internal date exactly equal to <date>, which has a format similar to 8-Aug-2002.
- SINCE <date>
-
messages with an internal date on or after <date>.
- SUBJECT <string>
-
messages with <string> in their subject.
- TO <string>
-
messages with <string> in their TO field.

. attr
is a list of one or more attributes whose statuses are to be requested. Supported attributes include:
MESSAGES:: the number of messages in the mailbox. RECENT:: the number of recent messages in the mailbox. UNSEEN:: the number of unseen messages in the mailbox.
The return value is a hash of attributes. For example:

object. Each number is a message sequence number. attr
is the name of a data item to store: ‘FLAGS’ will replace the message’s flag list with the provided one, ‘+FLAGS’ will add the provided flags, and ‘-FLAGS’ will remove them. flags
is a list of flags.

def unsubscribe(mailbox)
send_command("UNSUBSCRIBE", mailbox)
end
Sends a UNSUBSCRIBE command to remove the specified mailbox
name from the server’s set of “active” or “subscribed” mailboxes.
A Net::IMAP::NoResponseError
is raised if mailbox
cannot be unsubscribed from; for instance, because the client is not currently subscribed to it.

def xlist(refname, mailbox)
synchronize do
send_command("XLIST", refname, mailbox)
return @responses.delete("XLIST")
end
end
Sends a XLIST command, and returns a subset of names from the complete set of all names available to the client. refname
provides a context (for instance, a base directory in a directory-based mailbox hierarchy). mailbox
specifies a mailbox or (via wildcards) mailboxes under that context. Two wildcards may be used in mailbox
: ‘*’, which matches all characters including the hierarchy delimiter (for instance, ‘/’ on a UNIX-hosted directory-based mailbox hierarchy); and ‘%’, which matches all characters except the hierarchy delimiter.
If refname
is empty, mailbox
is used directly to determine which mailboxes to match. If mailbox
is empty, the root name of refname
and the hierarchy delimiter are returned.
The XLIST command is like the LIST command except that the flags returned refer to the function of the folder/mailbox, e.g. :Sent
The return value is an array of Net::IMAP::MailboxList
. For example:
imap.create("foo/bar") imap.create("foo/baz") p imap.xlist("", "foo/%") #=> [#<Net::IMAP::MailboxList attr=[:Noselect], delim="/", name="foo/">, \\ #<Net::IMAP::MailboxList attr=[:Noinferiors, :Marked], delim="/", name="foo/bar">, \\ #<Net::IMAP::MailboxList attr=[:Noinferiors], delim="/", name="foo/baz">]
