Folder Handling | Scheer PAS Integration (Bridge) Documentation

Using the MailClient you can list folders, check their presence, as well as create and delete them:

Operations expecting a folderPath argument will treat this the following way:

Folder Path	Description	Example
NULL	This is interpreted as meaning the `<Inbox>` folder.
path beginning with `/`	This is interpreted as a path from the mail connections root folder.	`/Archive/Orders`
path not beginning with `/`	This is interpreted as a relative path to the `<Inbox>` folder, so translates to `/<Inbox>/Archive/Orders`.	`Archive/Orders`

The intention of this behavior is to abstract away the fact that <Inbox> has many different names depending on the connection, i.e. IMAP typically uses INBOX, Exchange calls it Inbox, and a German Exchange calls it Posteingang.

Also note that POP3 does not support folders other than <Inbox>. Hence when you specify a POP3 connection, folderPath parameters other than NULL will raise an exception.
