## Description

CamelIMAPXMailbox models the current state of an IMAP mailbox as accumulated from untagged IMAP server responses in the current session.

In particular, a CamelIMAPXMailbox should not be populated with locally cached information from the previous session. This is why instantiation requires a CamelIMAPXListResponse.

## Functions

### camel_imapx_mailbox_new ()

    CamelIMAPXMailbox *
    camel_imapx_mailbox_new (CamelIMAPXListResponse *response,
                             CamelIMAPXNamespace *namespace_);

Creates a new CamelIMAPXMailbox from `response` and `namespace` .

The mailbox's name, path separator character, and attribute set are initialized from the CamelIMAPXListResponse.

#### Parameters

response | a CamelIMAPXListResponse |
namespace_ | a CamelIMAPXNamespace |

#### Returns

a CamelIMAPXMailbox

Since: 3.12

### camel_imapx_mailbox_clone ()

    CamelIMAPXMailbox *
    camel_imapx_mailbox_clone (CamelIMAPXMailbox *mailbox,
                               const gchar *new_mailbox_name);

Creates an identical copy of `mailbox` , except for the mailbox name. The copied CamelIMAPXMailbox is given the name `new_mailbox_name` .

The `new_mailbox_name` must be in the same IMAP namespace as `mailbox` .

This is primarily useful for handling mailbox renames. It is safer to create a new CamelIMAPXMailbox instance with the new name than to try and rename an existing CamelIMAPXMailbox, which could disrupt mailbox operations in progress as well as data structures that track mailboxes by name.

#### Parameters

mailbox | a CamelIMAPXMailbox |
new_mailbox_name | new name for the cloned mailbox |

#### Returns

a copy of `mailbox` , named `new_mailbox_name`

Since: 3.12

### camel_imapx_mailbox_exists ()

    gboolean
    camel_imapx_mailbox_exists (CamelIMAPXMailbox *mailbox);

Convenience function returns whether `mailbox` exists; that is, whether it lacks a CAMEL_IMAPX_LIST_ATTR_NONEXISTENT attribute.

Non-existent mailboxes should generally be disregarded.

#### Parameters

mailbox | a CamelIMAPXMailbox |

#### Returns

whether `mailbox` exists

Since: 3.12

### camel_imapx_mailbox_compare ()

    gint
    camel_imapx_mailbox_compare (CamelIMAPXMailbox *mailbox_a,

Compares two CamelIMAPXMailbox instances by their mailbox names.

#### Parameters

mailbox_a | the first CamelIMAPXMailbox |
mailbox_b | the second CamelIMAPXMailbox |

#### Returns

a negative value if `mailbox_a` compares before `mailbox_b` , zero if they compare equal, or a positive value if `mailbox_a` compares after `mailbox_b`

Since: 3.12

### camel_imapx_mailbox_matches ()

`TRUE` if `mailbox` 's name matches `pattern` , `FALSE` otherwise
