Mutators and Converters

[agnes]

I have some questions about the MimeVisitor class.

I have an extension where I register my converter and my mutator class.

I want the mutator to take actions when I send a message only and not when a new message comes.
The same with a converter. I want my converter's functions to be invoked only when I read a message and not when a new message is added to a mailbox.

My question is how can I check in my function if a message is being send or received ? And what can I do to not invoke a conversion while the new message is comming? Is it possible at all ?

Here is an example of a converter

    @Override
    protected boolean visitMessage(MimeMessage mm, VisitPhase visitKind) throws MessagingException {
        if (visitKind != VisitPhase.VISIT_BEGIN) {
            return false;
        }
        if (.....) { // here i want to check if it's an old message to start my conversion
            if (mCallback != null && mCallback.onModification() == false) {
                return false;
            }

            // do some modifications on the message .....

            mm.saveChanges();
            return true;
        }
        return false;
    }

Can I access some info about user account (account ID ...) in that function?

Mutators operate both on send and receive, with no exceptions. Can you find a way to detect received messages and skip them? (Maybe look for a "Received" header?)

Thank you. I will detect new messages like you said.

While we are parsing a message is there any simple way to find out to which mailbox the message belongs?
I need to get some user's properties in my converter. How can I do that ?

I don't believe that's possible at present. Can you file an enhancement request in bugzilla?
