Email Conversation ID - how do I get this ?

Question

Hi. I am trialing your software before purchase. I have been able to retrieve emails from the mailbox OK, and obtain most data fields, but I can't see which field contains "Conversation ID" (I get the actual Email ID from .MessageID, and the InReplyTo ID from .InReplyTo).

Answer 1

There is no such thing as Conversation ID defined in any email or IMAP specification.

I assume you are talking about Gmail's thread id. You can find this information on Envelope class (Envelope.GmailThreadId).

You can find more details on how to obtain this class here:

As a side note:
Some IMAP servers provide additional command for threading messages.
You can use Imap.Thread method to invoke it: https://www.limilabs.com/blog/thread-emails-using-imap.
