Simulator:  About - BlackBerry Smartphone Simulator 2.9.0.52

Model: BlackBerry Curve 8310 smartphone

I have a java program which sends an email to a hardcoded email address every 15 mins. The code it uses is from the Knowledge Centre: 

//Get the Store from the default mail Session.
Store store = Session.getDefaultInstance().getStore();

//retrieve the sent folder
Folder[] folders = store.list(Folder.SENT);
Folder sentfolder = folders[0];

//create a new message and store it in the sent folder
Message msg = new Message(sentfolder);
Address recipients[] = new Address[1];

try {
     recipients[0]= new Address(“user@company.com”, “user”);

     //add the recipient list to the message
     msg.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO, recipients);

     //set a subject for the message
     msg.setSubject(“Test email”);

     //sets the body of the message
     msg.setContent(“This is a test email from my BlackBerry Wireless Handheld”);

     //sets priority
     msg.setPriority(Message.Priority.HIGH);

     //send the message
     Transport.send(msg);
 }
catch (Exception me) {
     System.err.printIn(me);
}

The code works perfectly. But I need to modify it such that AFTER an email has been sent, the message is deleted from the Sent Folder. How can this be done?

Thanks.

try to use this code:

m.setFlag(Message.Flag.OPENED, true);
Folder folder = m.getFolder();
folder.deleteMessage(m);

Thanks for that simon. I'm going to try that now, but could you answer these 2 questions anyway:-

1) What does this line of code achieve -  m.setFlag(Message.Flag.OPENED, true);

Setting it to true will mean that the message has been read, but why is that required here?

2) The definition of the deleteMessage method is

deleteMessage(Message msg, boolean forceDeleteSaved) 

What's the boolean argument for?

Cheers again.

1) this is just some small convinience code, you don't have to use it.
a deleted mail is moved to the deleted folder (maybe you can delete it again there, didn't try). if it is unread the user will have an unread message in his deleted folder if he uses a synchronized outlook.

2) deleteMessage is an overloaded method, you do not have to use this version. see the javadoc for an explaination of the parameters.

Thanks. Your solution works perfectly by the way.

folder.deleteMessage(m);

this is no longer working with OS 6 ?
I got a lot of not deleted mails, or null pointer exceptions from deleteMessage.

Any ideas?

Hey Guys,

                    I'm having similar problem with deleteMessage(). the message is still present in outbox folder on the device after invoking.

Im using Blackberry 9860 device running  OS 7.1 to test and  Blackberry Java SDK Version 7.1 to build application.

Here is a snippet of the code

Store store = Session.getDefaultInstance().getStore();
Folder [] folders = store.list(Folder.SENT);
Folder sentFolder = folders[0];

Message msg = new Message(sentFolder);

try
{
Address toList[] = new Address[1];
// toList[0] = new Address("r_blakey@msn.com", msg.getFolder().getName());
toList[0] = new Address("name@domain.com", "Rdot");

msg.addRecipients(Message.RecipientType.TO,toList);
msg.setContent("Testing 1 2 3");

Transport.send(msg);
sentFolder.deleteMessage(msg);

Any hint at why the email isnt being deleted from the outbox would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance
