Hello,

I'm evaluating Rebex Secure Mail and have the following problem. I need to set the flags of a mail (IMAP). The host is outlook.office365.com.

If I use:

Using mailClient As New Imap Dim result = mailClient.Connect("outlook.office365.com", 993, SslMode.Implicit) mailClient .login... ... get some messages ... entry.SequenceNumber = 1 mailClient.SetMessageFlags(entry.SequenceNumber, ImapFlagAction.Add, ImapMessageFlags.Flagged)

an exception "Command received in Invalid state (NO)." is thrown.

Another product, which I'm evaluaiting, sets the flag without problems. What's going wrong?

Hello, please create a communication log using Imap object's LogWriter property (as described here) and either post it here or mail it to support@rebex.net - we should then be able to tell what is going on and fix the issue. Thanks!

Thanks for the log!

The following part of the log (at 2013-08-06 16:29:47.630) indicates you opened the "Inbox" folder in read-only mode:

  Command: R00004 EXAMINE INBOX
  Response: * 78 EXISTS
  Response: * 0 RECENT
  Response: * FLAGS (\Seen \Answered \Flagged \Deleted \Draft $MDNSent)
  Response: * OK [PERMANENTFLAGS ()] Permanent flags
  Response: * OK [UIDVALIDITY 14] UIDVALIDITY value
  Response: * OK [UIDNEXT 235] The next unique identifier value
  Response: R00004 OK [READ-ONLY] EXAMINE completed.

To fix this, instead of calling Imap object's SelectFolder("Inbox", true), please try calling SelectFolder("Inbox", false) or simpy SelectFolder("Inbox") and let me know whether it helps.

It's a pitty outlook.office365.com (and MS Exchange as well) don't provide a more useful error message in this case.

Hello Lukas,

my fault - it works after the change. :)

Thank you for your help.
