Need help on how to read imap messages unread count

[Bharath Raj Pathi]

Hi,
Tried with the example given here https://github.com/jonhoo/rust-imap/blob/master/examples/basic.rs, I am not able to read unread emails count. My account is on gmail. Please suggest and correct me if I'm wrong anywhere

Hi! I can't really help without further details. To find unread emails, you'll need to do a search for something like UNSEEN and then iterate over the results to get the actual number. You may find the code in buzz helpful. I would also recommend you use the alpha version of imap 3.0.0 rather than the current release, as it contains a lot of improvements.

Thank you, need another help. Fetch command is always fetching only one email from bottom. Can you help with sample code on how to read top most unread email.

You'll want to use search, not fetch, to find the messages. And then use fetch to fetch additional information about a set of message identifiers afterwards. Again, see buzz for an example :)
