Public Property Name As String

Visual Basic (Usage)	Copy Code
Dim instance As Mailbox Dim value As String   instance.Name = value   value = instance.Name

public string Name {get; set;}

public: __property string* get_Name();
public: __property void set_Name( 
   string* value
);

public:
property String^ Name {
   String^ get();
   void set (    String^ value);
}

Property Value

The Mailbox.Name property gets or sets the "short" name of this mailbox, meaning the text part of the name between the last occurrence of the delimiter (Imap.Delimiter) (if any) and the end of the string. For example, with a mailbox named:

"inbox\archives\user"

the Mailbox name-related properties would be as follows:

When setting the Mailbox.Name property, a RENAME command is sent to the server. This will only rename the "short" name, which has some limitations. For example, if you wanted to rename

"company/users/bob"

to

"company/users/bobjohnson"

you could simply set Mailbox.Name to "bobjohnson". However, if you wanted to rename

"company/users/bob"

to

"archive/bobbackup"

you could not do this by setting Mailbox.Name. You would have to set Mailbox.FullName to "archive/bobbackup".

The equivalent asynchronous method for renaming a mailbox is

Imap.BeginInvoke("RENAME oldname newname, null);

"&" is represented when sent as "&-". Anything between an "&" and a "–" is converted to Unicode.
