Does anybody know if it's possible to write an FMX app in Delphi that can read emails - subject lines, message content, names of attachments etc - from the iOS inbox? Or is the inbox completely locked down and inaccessible?

(I've been asked to investigate the feasibility of filing email content direct from the phone into a database.)
Many thanks.

As I know, there is no way to access inbox from mobile, that inbox is also a application that connects to mail server by IMAP or POP3.
ReplyDeleteSo, if you want to access the inbox you could use Indy components like in any desktop app.
Why don't you set up an POP3 or IMAP /server/ so users on the move can just share the mail with your system. Works really well for my users. They can share / forward from any e-mail software. The result looks better compared to when someone for example drags an .msg file from outlook and it's easier for the users to learn.
ReplyDeleteIts better to just ask the internet the question more broadly i.e. access emails in mail on ios using swift - this then gives you the answer you need (which is no) and then if the answer was yes you can then work out how hard it would be to import the headers and do it in Delphi... The direct access method is a better one but the problem is you need to write an ActiveSync client which is a bit of work as most of the mail accounts are not going to be POP3/imap anymore
