Hi all

           how to delete an email after its delivered i get mail status using 

mail.getStaus();

 it returns only an int value how to get mail status like TX_DELIVERED or TX_PENDING

Compare the returned integer against the Message.Status constants, if the return value you got equals the Message.Status.TX_DELIVERED then you should be able to procede with your deletion. 

[jeyaprakash]

int status=mail.getStatus();
if(status==Message.Status.TX_DELIVERED)
{
 mail.getFolder().deleteMessage(mail):
}

  status retuns some value like 41576834 ?

This returns a bit field that could contain multiple status types.  To check for a specific type you can and it (&) with the contsant and compare to 0.

Hi could you show how you would do this?  ... thanks.

You can see an example of this on the last line of code in this sample.

I must be missing something.  In my tests I get the following for a message delivered to the device.

DEBUG - msg.getStatus() = 2047
 
DEBUG - Message.Status.RX_RECEIVED = 2047
DEBUG - msg.getStatus() & Message.Status.RX_RECEIVED = 2047
 
DEBUG - Message.Status.RX_RECEIVING  = 4095
DEBUG - msg.getStatus() & Message.Status.RX_RECEIVING  = 2047
 
DEBUG - Message.Status.RX_ERROR = 1
DEBUG - msg.getStatus() & Message.Status.RX_ERROR = 1

So if these were compared to zero then the messge is not received, not receiving and there is no error ???  I must be reading this wrong.

The getStatus method actually returns one of the RX or TX values, not a bitmask of combined values (which is where you'd use the & operator).

This means you'll need to use a direct comparison (such as an if or switch case) and compare to the constant values.

Sorry for the mix up.
