IMAP4 issue

IMAP4 issue

Sure, i know i have to check for the tag followed by the OK/BAD word, but i really don't know how to do that, i mean if i have "a100 OK success" which indicates the end of the message can i just check whether the received message contains "a100 OK"...well i can't ofcourse because some other part of the message can contain "a100 OK". Also i can't use the RFC822.SIZE because the size is not correct, the RFC822.SIZE shows the size of the RFC822 message, not the size of the whole message sent by the server. Then how to know whether i have reached the end??? In POP3 you just have to check whether a line contains "." and if "." is the only character on the line.

For a fetch, the penultimate line will end with a ) and a \r\n pair. The last line of the message will contain only the tag (a100 in your example), OK, BAD or NO, and a string terminated by a \r\n pair CODE ...)\r\n a100 OK Completed\r\n a100 BAD Failed\r\n a100 NO Login failed\r\n From the RFC: QUOTE The server completion result response indicates the success or failure of the operation. It is tagged with the same tag as the client command which began the operation. Thus, if more than one command is in progress, the tag in a server completion response identifies the command to which the response applies. There are three possible server completion responses: OK (indicating success), NO (indicating failure), or BAD (indicating a protocol error such as unrecognized command or command syntax error).
