The example of a simple expression: '' '', where - the name of a message field through which filtering is made, - comparison operators, as their name implies, allow to compare message field and specified value, - value to be compared with a message field. The number of simple expressions can make a compound one, ex.: ( & ) | , where '&' - logical-AND operator, '|' - logical-OR operator At present the following values are allowed as a field name (): 'To' - represents a TO field of message, 'Text' - represents string in the header or body of the message, 'Bcc' - represents a BCC field of message, 'Body' - represents a string in the body of message, 'Cc' - represents a CC field of message, 'From' - represents a From field of message, 'Subject' - represents a string in the subject of message, 'InternalDate' - represents an internal date of message, 'SentDate' - represents a sent date of message Additionally, the following field names are allowed for IMAP-protocol: 'Answered' - represents an /Answered flag of message 'Seen' - represents a /Seen flag of message 'Flagged' - represents a /Flagged flag of message 'Draft' - represents a /Draft flag of message 'Deleted' - represents a Deleted/ flag of message 'Recent' - represents a Deleted/ flag of message 'MessageSize' - represents a size (in bytes) of message Additionally, the following field names are allowed for Exchange: 'IsRead' - Indicates whether the message has been read 'HasAttachment' - Indicates whether or not the message has attachments 'IsSubmitted' - Indicates whether the message has been submitted to the Outbox 'ContentClass' - represents a content class of item Additionally, the following field names are allowed for pst/ost files: 'MessageClass' - Represents a message class 'ContainerClass' - Represents a folder container class 'Importance' - Represents a message importance 'MessageSize' - represents a size (in bytes) of message 'FolderName' - represents a folder name 'ContentsCount' - represents a total number of items in the folder 'UnreadContentsCount' - represents the number of unread items in the folder. 'Subfolders' - Indicates whether or not the folder has subfolders 'Read' - the message is marked as having been read 'HasAttachment' - the message has at least one attachment 'Unsent' - the message is still being composed 'Unmodified' - the message has not been modified since it was first saved (if unsent) or it was delivered (if sent) 'FromMe' - the user receiving the message was also the user who sent the message 'Resend' - the message includes a request for a resend operation with a non-delivery report 'NotifyRead' - the user who sent the message has requested notification when a recipient first reads it 'NotifyUnread' - the user who sent the message has requested notification when a recipient deletes it before reading or the Message object expires 'EverRead' - the message has been read at least once The field value () can take the following values: For text fields - any string, For date type fields - the string of 'd-MMM-yyy' format, ex. '10-Feb-2009', For flags (fields of boolean type) - either 'True', or 'False' | ### MailQuery(String queryString, String orderByString) {#MailQuery-java.lang.String-java.lang.String-} ``` public MailQuery(String queryString, String orderByString) ``` Initializes a new instance of the [MailQuery](../../com.aspose.email/mailquery) class. -------------------- > ``` > MailQuery mailQuery = new MailQuery("", "(('From' OrderBy 'ASC') & ('SentDate' OrderBy 'DESC'))"); > ``` -------------------- The sort query string should have the following view. The example of a simple expression: '' OrderBy ['ASC'|'DESC'], where - the name of a message field through which sorting is made, ['ASC'|'DESC'] - sorting operators, allow to sort Ascending or Descending, The number of simple expressions can make a compound one, ex.: ( & ), **Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | queryString | java.lang.String | | | orderByString | java.lang.String | | ### equals(MailQuery other) {#equals-com.aspose.email.MailQuery-} ``` public final boolean equals(MailQuery other) ``` Indicates whether the current object is equal to another object of the same type. **Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | other | [MailQuery](../../com.aspose.email/mailquery) | An object to compare with this object. | **Returns:** boolean - true if the current object is equal to the other parameter; otherwise, false. ### equals(Object obj) {#equals-java.lang.Object-} ``` public boolean equals(Object obj) ``` Determines whether the specified Object, is equal to this instance. **Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | obj | java.lang.Object | The Object to compare with this instance. | **Returns:** boolean - true if the specified Object is equal to this instance; otherwise, false . ### getClass() {#getClass--} ``` public final native Class getClass() ``` **Returns:** java.lang.Class ### getOrderByString() {#getOrderByString--} ``` public final String getOrderByString() ``` The sort query string. **Returns:** java.lang.String ### getSchema() {#getSchema--} ``` public final System.Xml.XmlSchema getSchema() ``` This method is reserved and should not be used. When implementing the IXmlSerializable interface, you should return null (Nothing in Visual Basic) from this method, and instead, if specifying a custom schema is required, apply the XmlSchemaProviderAttribute to the class. **Returns:** com.aspose.ms.System.Xml.XmlSchema - An XmlSchema that describes the XML representation of the object that is produced by the M:System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable.WriteXml(System.Xml.XmlWriter) method and consumed by the M:System.Xml.Serialization.IXmlSerializable.ReadXml(System.Xml.XmlReader) method. ### hashCode() {#hashCode--} ``` public int hashCode() ``` Returns a hash code for this instance. **Returns:** int - A hash code for this instance, suitable for use in hashing algorithms and data structures like a hash table. ### notify() {#notify--} ``` public final native void notify() ``` ### notifyAll() {#notifyAll--} ``` public final native void notifyAll() ``` ### toString() {#toString--} ``` public String toString() ``` Returns a String that represents this instance. **Returns:** java.lang.String - A query string that represents this instance. ### wait() {#wait--} ``` public final void wait() ``` ### wait(long arg0) {#wait-long-} ``` public final native void wait(long arg0) ``` **Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | arg0 | long | | ### wait(long arg0, int arg1) {#wait-long-int-} ``` public final void wait(long arg0, int arg1) ``` **Parameters:** | Parameter | Type | Description | | --- | --- | --- | | arg0 | long | | | arg1 | int | |
