Retrieve e-mail messages via soap

[kuip]

I have been trying to integrate Zimbra into our portal using SOAP. I was would like to grab the first 10 e-mail messages using the API that you have set up. However, I am not having any luck in making a successful call. I've looked through the soap.txt documentation for two days now, but still am not getting any success. The error that I am getting reads:

soap:Senderno valid authtoken present

My system administrator has sent me an authtoken - but it doesn't seem to be valid. Does this authtoken expire?

I attached my sample code to this thread.

Am I missing an important step? Any advise would be greatly appreciated! I am starting to panic since I've spent two days on this and have nothing to show my boss.

Auth tokens expire, usually in 24 hours. Try sending an AuthRequest to get a current auth token. (Also, why is the auth token being stored in a variable called "cosid"?) Also, surrounding your auth token with '. and .' will render it invalid.

You also probably don't want SearchConvRequest, as that searches within a single conversation. Use SearchRequest instead.

Also, why do you have an <e> element inside a SearchConvRequest?

Thank you very much! You definitely pointed me in the right direction. I didn't know that it was possible to retrieve e-mail messages without authenticating as the administrator. The user account info (username and password) works just fine for this task.

I'll post my final code for retrieving e-mail messages as soon as it is finished.
