pub struct Client<T: Read + Write> { /* private fields */ }
Expand description
An (unauthenticated) handle to talk to an IMAP server. This is what you get when first
connecting. A succesfull call to Client::login
or Client::authenticate
will return a
Session
instance that provides the usual IMAP methods.
Implementations§
source§impl<T: Read + Write> Client<T>
impl<T: Read + Write> Client<T>
sourcepub fn new(stream: T) -> Client<T>
pub fn new(stream: T) -> Client<T>
Creates a new client over the given stream.
This method primarily exists for writing tests that mock the underlying transport,
but can also be used to support IMAP over custom tunnels. If you do not need to do
that, then it is simpler to use the ClientBuilder
to get
a new client.
For an example, see examples/timeout.rs
which uses a custom timeout on the
tcp stream.
Note: In case you do need to use Client::new
instead of the ClientBuilder
you will need to listen for the IMAP protocol server greeting before authenticating:
let mut client = Client::new(tls);
client.read_greeting().unwrap();
let session = client.login(username, password).unwrap();
sourcepub fn into_inner(self) -> Result<T>
pub fn into_inner(self) -> Result<T>
Yield the underlying connection for this Client.
This consumes self
since the Client is not much use without
an underlying transport.
sourcepub fn capabilities(&mut self) -> Result<Capabilities>
pub fn capabilities(&mut self) -> Result<Capabilities>
The CAPABILITY
command requests a
listing of capabilities that the server supports. The server will include “IMAP4rev1” as
one of the listed capabilities. See Capabilities
for further details.
This allows reading capabilities before authentication.
sourcepub fn login(
self,
username: impl AsRef<str>,
password: impl AsRef<str>
) -> Result<Session<T>, (Error, Client<T>)>
pub fn login( self, username: impl AsRef<str>, password: impl AsRef<str> ) -> Result<Session<T>, (Error, Client<T>)>
Log in to the IMAP server. Upon success a Session
instance is
returned; on error the original Client
instance is returned in addition to the error.
This is because login
takes ownership of self
, so in order to try again (e.g. after
prompting the user for credetials), ownership of the original Client
needs to be
transferred back to the caller.
let client = imap::ClientBuilder::new("imap.example.org", 993)
.connect().unwrap();
match client.login("user", "pass") {
Ok(s) => {
// you are successfully authenticated!
},
Err((e, orig_client)) => {
eprintln!("error logging in: {}", e);
// prompt user and try again with orig_client here
return;
}
}
sourcepub fn authenticate<A: Authenticator>(
self,
auth_type: impl AsRef<str>,
authenticator: &A
) -> Result<Session<T>, (Error, Client<T>)>
pub fn authenticate<A: Authenticator>( self, auth_type: impl AsRef<str>, authenticator: &A ) -> Result<Session<T>, (Error, Client<T>)>
Authenticate with the server using the given custom authenticator
to handle the server’s
challenge.
struct OAuth2 {
user: String,
access_token: String,
}
impl imap::Authenticator for OAuth2 {
type Response = String;
fn process(&self, _: &[u8]) -> Self::Response {

self.user, self.access_token
)
}
}
fn main() {
let auth = OAuth2 {
user: String::from("me@example.com"),
access_token: String::from("<access_token>"),
};
let client = imap::ClientBuilder::new("imap.example.com", 993).connect()
.expect("Could not connect to server");
match client.authenticate("XOAUTH2", &auth) {
Ok(session) => {
// you are successfully authenticated!
},
Err((e, orig_client)) => {
eprintln!("error authenticating: {}", e);
// prompt user and try again with orig_client here
