readMessageFolders

The readMessageFolders function attempts to return message folders that match all of the given filter. The specified attributes of the folders are returned for each matching folder.

Results

The readMessageFolders function may return 1 or many message folder objects. See the documentation on the messageFolderObject for a list of the data fields that could potentially be returned.

Note: The data fields returned depend on the type of data you ask for in your request.

Syntax

messageFolderObject[] folders = bApi.readMessageFolders(filter messageFolderFilter, pageNumber);

Parameters


Name	Type	Required	Description
`filter`	messageFolderFilter	Yes	Used to filter which message object is returned.
`pageNumber`	int	Yes	Retrieves the next “batch” of objects as the value specified increases from 1. In order to obtain an entire set of objects for a given call, you should increase the number value assigned to pageNumber until no more objects are returned.
