This class is under development and is subject to change.
Inherits QMailMessagePartContainer.
The QMailMessage class provides a convenient interface for working with messages.
QMailMessage supports a number of types. These include telephony types such as SMS and MMS, and internet email messages as defined in RFC 2822 (Internet Message Format), and RFC 2045 (Format of Internet Message Bodies) through RFC 2049 (Conformance Criteria and Examples).
The most common way to use QMailMessage is to initialize it from raw data using QMailMessage::fromRfc2822().
A QMailMessage can also be constructed piece by piece using functions such as setMessageType(), setFrom(), setTo(), setSubject(), and setBody() or appendPart(). Convenience functions such as from()/setFrom() and date()/setDate() accept and return wrapper types, to simplify the exchange of correctly-formatted data. In some cases, however, it may be simpler for clients to get and set the content of header fields directly, using the headerField() and setHeaderField() functions inherited from QMailMessagePartContainer.
A message may be serialized to a QDataStream, or returned as a QByteArray using toRfc2822().
Messages can be added to the QMailStore, or retrieved from the store via their QMailId identifier.
See also QMailMessagePart, QMailMessageBody, QMailStore, and QMailId.
This enum type is used to describe the action that should be performed on each message attachment.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QMailMessage::LinkToAttachments | 0 | Add a part to the message containing a link to the supplied attachment. If the document is removed, the message will no longer have access to the data. |
| QMailMessage::CopyAttachments | 1 | Add a part to the message containing a copy of the data in the supplied attachment. If the document is removed, the message will still contain the data. |
| QMailMessage::CopyAndDeleteAttachments | 2 | Add a part to the message containing a copy of the data in the supplied attachment, then delete the document from which the data was copied. |
This enum type is used to describe the format in which a message should be serialized.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QMailMessage::HeaderOnlyFormat | 1 | Only the header portion of the message is serialized, to RFC 2822 form. |
| QMailMessage::StorageFormat | 2 | The message is serialized to RFC 2822 form, without attachments. |
| QMailMessage::TransmissionFormat | 3 | The entire message is serialized to RFC 2822 form, with additional header fields added if necessary, and 'bcc' header field omitted. |
| QMailMessage::IdentityFormat | 4 | The entire message is serialized to RFC 2822 form, with only Content-Type and Content-Transfer-Encoding headers added where required. |
| QMailMessage::SerializationFormat | 5 | The entire message is serialized to RFC 2822 form for internal use only. |
This enum type is used to describe the data to be loaded from the message store when constructing a QMailMessage.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QMailMessage::Header | 0 | Load the message header data only. |
| QMailMessage::HeaderAndBody | 1 | Load the message header data and body data. |
This enum type is used to describe the state and type of a message.
| Constant | Value | Description |
|---|---|---|
| QMailMessage::Incoming | 0x0001 | The message is in incoming message retrieved from the network. |
| QMailMessage::Outgoing | 0x0002 | The message is an outgoing message intended to be delivered over the network. |
| QMailMessage::Sent | 0x0004 | The message has been delivered over the network. |
| QMailMessage::Replied | 0x0008 | A message replying to the author of this message has been created. |
| QMailMessage::RepliedAll | 0x0010 | A new message replying to the author and all the recipients of the message other than the user has been created. |
| QMailMessage::Forwarded | 0x0020 | A forwarded version of the message has been created. |
| QMailMessage::Downloaded | 0x0040 | The message is completed, it is not a partial message where some data has not been retrieved from the originating server. |
| QMailMessage::Read | 0x0080 | The message has been marked as read by the user. |
| QMailMessage::Removed | 0x0100 | The message has been deleted from or moved on the originating server. |
| QMailMessage::ReadElsewhere | 0x0200 | The message is not new, since the server has already reported its existence to some client. |
The Status type is a typedef for QFlags<MessageStatusFlag>. It stores an OR combination of MessageStatusFlag values.
This enum type is used to describe the type of a message.
| Constant | Value | Description |

| QMailMessage::Sms | 0x4 | The message is an SMS. |
| QMailMessage::Email | 0x8 | The message is an Email. |
| QMailMessage::System | 0x10 | The message is a system report. |
| QMailMessage::None | 0 | Indicates no message type. |
| QMailMessage::AnyType | Mms | Sms | Email | System | Indicates any type of message. |
