MailPro and MailMessage depracated

[steve1376656734]

Apologies if this message is a bit garbled but I'm having problems figuring out the best way to explain my issue

I have just downloaded the MailPro plugin and am trying to use it to replace the mail functionality I have in the solution currently.

My problem is that I am having inconsistent results with declaring variables or parameters using the MailPro types. For example, the following declaration works absolutely fine:

Code: Select all

/** @type {SMTPAccount} */
var account = plugins.MailPro.SMTPAccount("noreply");


But this one:

Code: Select all

/** @type {MailMessage} */
var testMessage;


gives me a warning saying "The type MailMessage is deprecated" and hovering over it with the ALT key pressed gives no alternative as you would usually see and if I change the declaration to:

Code: Select all

/** @type {plugins.MailPro.MailMessage} */
var testMesage;


I get a warning saying "Unknown type plugins.MailPro.MailMessage"

If I use the deprecated MailMessage type then I don't have access to any of the methods or properties that are listed under the MailMessage section in the developer

Does anyone have any sample code or documentation for the MailPro plugin that would get me going?

Thanks

Steve

This all happens because the MailPro plugin still works with Servoy 3.5. The downside is, that it doesn't work so well with code completion in Developer 5 or later.

All the methods and properties that you see under MailMessage in MailPro will work, but give you a warning. I am working on a version that is Servoy 6 and later only, but can't tell you right now when it will be ready. For the time being, you will have to live with the warnings and missing code completion.

or use:

Code: Select all

/** @type {*} */

that way the warnings also disappears (code completion does not work than)

Thanks for the clarification (as I'm relatively new to Servoy I thought I had done something wrong!)

Do you have any documentation or sample solutions that would help with the methods and how best to utilise them. My thoughts are to use the MailPro plugin to try to get around the issue of an unreliable/slow third party mail server by doing a background send and allow the user to get on with job in hand and not have to wait for the server to timeout when trying to send a message. Does the background send have retries etc.?

Thanks
