CData Cloud offers access to IMAP across several standard services and protocols, in a cloud-hosted solution. Any application that can connect to a SQL Server database can connect to IMAP through CData Cloud.
CData Cloud allows you to standardize and configure connections to IMAP as though it were any other OData endpoint or standard SQL Server.
This page provides a guide to Establishing a Connection to IMAP in CData Cloud, as well as information on the available resources, and a reference to the available connection properties.
Establishing a Connection shows how to authenticate to IMAP and configure any necessary connection properties to create a database in CData Cloud
Accessing data from IMAP through the available standard services and CData Cloud administration is documented in further details in the CData Cloud Documentation.
Connect to IMAP by selecting the corresponding icon in the Database tab. Required properties are listed under Settings. The Advanced tab lists connection properties that are not typically required.
The User and Password properties in the Authentication section must be set to valid credentials. The Server must be specified to retrieve emails and the SMTPServer must be specified to send emails.
From May 30, 2022, Google no longer supports the use of third-party apps or devices which ask you to sign in to your Google Account using only your username and password. There are alternatives that allow your continued use of our Email drivers to connect to your Google account, which is why Gmail-specific columns, pseudo-columns, and stored procedures are only getting deprecated. We recommend you move to our Gmail drivers that offer more secure methods of authentication.
To enable TLS, set SSLMode to AUTO, IMPLICIT, or EXPLICIT. See this connection property's page (Connection String Options > Authentication > SSLMode) for more information about how each SSL mode works.
To specify another certificate, see the SSLServerCert connection property.
To authenticate to an HTTP proxy, set the following:
Set the following properties:
The CData Cloud connects to mail servers using standard mail protocols for IMAP, POP, and SMTP, as defined by the following RFCs:
For IMAP, the Cloud implements a standard IMAP client, as specified in RFC 1730 and RFC 2060.
For POP, the Cloud implements a standard Internet post office (POP3) client, as specified in RFC 1725.
And, finally, for SMTP, the Cloud implements a standard SMTP client, as specified in RFC 821.
Email address fields accept the following formats for email addresses:
Email will be listed newest to oldest. By default, the MessageBody and Headers will not be returned when listing multiple messages.
Note: By default, the max number of messages returned will be 100. This can be changed by setting either LIMIT or MaxItems. If you wish to return all email within a mailbox, you will need to specify a value of 0 or -1.
List Mail Messages
To list messages within a specific mailbox, specify the mailbox as the table. This will list the most recent messages.
Alternatively, you can specify a range of message Ids to list. This includes the following formats:
WHERE Id='10' //For returning only the message with an Id of 10. WHERE Id BETWEEN 10 AND 20 //For returning all messages from 10 to 20. WHERE Id IN (1,3,5) //For returning messages 1, 3, 5.Search Email
To search mail, simply specify a value for any of the following columns in the WHERE clause: To, From, BCC, CC, Subject, MessageBody, Flags, Labels, Size, or Date. This includes complex statements. For example:
Note that the CONTAINS function requires full words (For example Test, not Tes), just like the search bar from the UI.
For example:
SELECT * FROM [Inbox] WHERE CONTAINS(MessageBody, "Test") AND ([From] = [email protected] OR [From] = [email protected]) AND Date>'1-1-2012'This will return all messages where the message body contains the text 'Test', and the message is from either [email protected] or [email protected].
In addition to searching by standard columns, you can also search by attachment file names and by whether or not an attachment is on the email. For example:
SELECT * FROM [Inbox] WHERE HasAttachment='True' AND Attachments='.txt'
Use of parentheses is also supported for complex WHERE clauses.
As an alternative to the above method of creating search criteria, the SearchCriteria pseudo column is also available. This will accept any valid IMAP search criteria as specified by RFC.
Please refer to the SMTP section.
To move an email from one mailbox to another, you will need to specify the Mailbox in the SET clauses of the message and the ID in the WHERE clause. For example:
UPDATE [Inbox] SET Mailbox='NewMailboxName' WHERE Id='MessageId'
Id may consist of a single message number, a range of messages specified by two message numbers separated by ':' (e.g. "1:5"), and/or individual message numbers separated by ',' (e.g. "1:5,7,10").
When moving an email from one mailbox to another, you may not specify any additional updates.
By default, the number of messages returned per page will be 25. To change this, you can set the ItemsPerPage pseudo column.
All message Ids returned are temporary Ids and may change in subsequent requests to the server. To use static Ids, you can set UIDMode=true. However, only listing messages is supported with UIDs.
Email address fields contained within this table accept the following formats:
Email will be listed newest to oldest. By default, the MessageBody and Headers will not be returned when listing multiple messages.
Note: By default, the max number of emails returned will be 100. This can be changed by setting either LIMIT or MaxItems. If you wish to return all emails, you will need to specify a value of 0 or -1.
List Emails
To list messages, simply call SELECT after specifying the account information. This will list the most recent messages first.
To specify a single Id, which will return headers and the message body, you can specify the following:
WHERE Id='10' //For returning only the message with an Id of 10.
To list messages beginning with a specific Id, you can set the StartId property in the WHERE clause. This will cause messages to begin with the Id you specified, to the oldest message available within the LIMIT.
WHERE StartId='45' //Returns messages 45 through 1Search Emails
Searching is not supported by the POP protocol. In order to search emails, you must use IMAP.
Please refer to the SMTP section.
By default, the number of messages returned per page will be 25. To change this, you can set the ItemsPerPage pseudo column.
All message Ids returned are temporary Ids and may change in subsequent requests to the server. To use static Ids, you can set UIDMode=true. However, only listing messages is supported with UIDs.
Email address fields accept both the email addresses and the email address accompanied by the username; for example, "Friendly Name" <[email protected]>
When sending mail with either POP or IMAP, SMTP is used to send the message to the mail server.
To send mail, you can insert a row into the table. Required fields are Subject, To, and MessageBody. For example:
INSERT INTO [Inbox] (Subject, MessageBody, To) VALUES ('Test Subject','Body Text','[email protected]')
By default, the From field will be populated with the email address supplied in the account. If it is not a complete email address, be sure to set From before sending a message.
The CData Cloud models IMAP entities as relational tables and stored procedures.
The Cloud models the data in IMAP as a list of tables in a relational database that can be queried using standard SQL statements.
| Name | Description |
| MailMessages | List, search, delete, and move IMAP messages. List and delete POP messages. And send messages with SMTP. |
List, search, delete, and move IMAP messages. List and delete POP messages. And send messages with SMTP.
This schema is defined for all tables. Each table name will be a mailbox folder on the server.
You can use square brackets to escape the table names of mailbox folders.
For more specifics on using this table with IMAP, POP, and SMTP, refer to Supported Mail Protocols.

Maximum number of items to return.
string
"100"
Maximum number of items to return.
Specifies the maximum number of rows returned for queries that do not include either aggregation or GROUP BY.
int
-1
The default value for this property, -1, means that no row limit is enforced unless the query explicitly includes a LIMIT clause. (When a query includes a LIMIT clause, the value specified in the query takes precedence over the MaxRows setting.)
Setting MaxRows to a whole number greater than 0 ensures that queries do not return excessively large result sets by default.
This property is useful for optimizing performance and preventing excessive resource consumption when executing queries that could otherwise return very large datasets.
Specifies the session character set for decoding character data transferred from the IMAP server.
string
"UTF-8"
Specifies the session character set for decoding character data transferred from the IMAP server. The default value is UTF-8. Set it to 'None' to leave the charset unspecified. This can resolve some timeout errors that can be caused by an incorrect charset configuration.
Specifies the pseudocolumns to expose as table columns, expressed as a string in the format 'TableName=ColumnName;TableName=ColumnName'.
string
""
This property allows you to define which pseudocolumns the Cloud exposes as table columns.
To specify individual pseudocolumns, use the following format:
Table1=Column1;Table1=Column2;Table2=Column3
To include all pseudocolumns for all tables use:
*=*
Specifies whether or not throws an exception if there is no rows updated.
bool
false
Specifies whether or not throws an exception if there is no rows updated.
Specifies the maximum time, in seconds, that the provider waits for a server response before throwing a timeout error.
int
60
The timeout applies to each individual communication with the server rather than the entire query or operation. For example, a query could continue running beyond 60 seconds if each paging call completes within the timeout limit.
Timeout is set to 60 seconds by default. To disable timeouts, set this property to 0.
Disabling the timeout allows operations to run indefinitely until they succeed or fail due to other conditions such as server-side timeouts, network interruptions, or resource limits on the server.
Note: Use this property cautiously to avoid long-running operations that could degrade performance or result in unresponsive behavior.
If true, permanent message Ids are used instead of the default temporary Ids.
bool
false
The default value for UIDMode is false.

NSIS 3.10
Copyright (C) 1999-2025 Contributors THE ACCOMPANYING PROGRAM IS PROVIDED UNDER THE TERMS OF THIS COMMON PUBLIC LICENSE ("AGREEMENT"). ANY USE, REPRODUCTION OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM CONSTITUTES RECIPIENT'S ACCEPTANCE OF THIS AGREEMENT.
1. DEFINITIONS
"Contribution" means:
a) in the case of the initial Contributor, the initial code and documentation distributed under this Agreement, and b) in the case of each subsequent Contributor:
i) changes to the Program, and
ii) additions to the Program;
where such changes and/or additions to the Program originate from and are distributed by that particular Contributor. A Contribution 'originates' from a Contributor if it was added to the Program by such Contributor itself or anyone acting on such Contributor's behalf. Contributions do not include additions to the Program which: (i) are separate modules of software distributed in conjunction with the Program under their own license agreement, and (ii) are not derivative works of the Program.
"Contributor" means any person or entity that distributes the Program.
"Licensed Patents " mean patent claims licensable by a Contributor which are necessarily infringed by the use or sale of its Contribution alone or when combined with the Program.
"Program" means the Contributions distributed in accordance with this Agreement.
"Recipient" means anyone who receives the Program under this Agreement, including all Contributors.
2. GRANT OF RIGHTS
a) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free copyright license to reproduce, prepare derivative works of, publicly display, publicly perform, distribute and sublicense the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, and such derivative works, in source code and object code form.
b) Subject to the terms of this Agreement, each Contributor hereby grants Recipient a non-exclusive, worldwide, royalty-free patent license under Licensed Patents to make, use, sell, offer to sell, import and otherwise transfer the Contribution of such Contributor, if any, in source code and object code form. This patent license shall apply to the combination of the Contribution and the Program if, at the time the Contribution is added by the Contributor, such addition of the Contribution causes such combination to be covered by the Licensed Patents. The patent license shall not apply to any other combinations which include the Contribution. No hardware per se is licensed hereunder.
c) Recipient understands that although each Contributor grants the licenses to its Contributions set forth herein, no assurances are provided by any Contributor that the Program does not infringe the patent or other intellectual property rights of any other entity. Each Contributor disclaims any liability to Recipient for claims brought by any other entity based on infringement of intellectual property rights or otherwise. As a condition to exercising the rights and licenses granted hereunder, each Recipient hereby assumes sole responsibility to secure any other intellectual property rights needed, if any. For example, if a third party patent license is required to allow Recipient to distribute the Program, it is Recipient's responsibility to acquire that license before distributing the Program.
d) Each Contributor represents that to its knowledge it has sufficient copyright rights in its Contribution, if any, to grant the copyright license set forth in this Agreement.
3. REQUIREMENTS
A Contributor may choose to distribute the Program in object code form under its own license agreement, provided that:
a) it complies with the terms and conditions of this Agreement; and
b) its license agreement:
i) effectively disclaims on behalf of all Contributors all warranties and conditions, express and implied, including warranties or conditions of title and non-infringement, and implied warranties or conditions of merchantability and fitness for a particular purpose;
ii) effectively excludes on behalf of all Contributors all liability for damages, including direct, indirect, special, incidental and consequential damages, such as lost profits;
iii) states that any provisions which differ from this Agreement are offered by that Contributor alone and not by any other party; and
iv) states that source code for the Program is available from such Contributor, and informs licensees how to obtain it in a reasonable manner on or through a medium customarily used for software exchange.
When the Program is made available in source code form:
a) it must be made available under this Agreement; and
b) a copy of this Agreement must be included with each copy of the Program.
Contributors may not remove or alter any copyright notices contained within the Program.
Each Contributor must identify itself as the originator of its Contribution, if any, in a manner that reasonably allows subsequent Recipients to identify the originator of the Contribution.
4. COMMERCIAL DISTRIBUTION
Commercial distributors of software may accept certain responsibilities with respect to end users, business partners and the like. While this license is intended to facilitate the commercial use of the Program, the Contributor who includes the Program in a commercial product offering should do so in a manner which does not create potential liability for other Contributors. Therefore, if a Contributor includes the Program in a commercial product offering, such Contributor ("Commercial Contributor") hereby agrees to defend and indemnify every other Contributor ("Indemnified Contributor") against any losses, damages and costs (collectively "Losses") arising from claims, lawsuits and other legal actions brought by a third party against the Indemnified Contributor to the extent caused by the acts or omissions of such Commercial Contributor in connection with its distribution of the Program in a commercial product offering. The obligations in this section do not apply to any claims or Losses relating to any actual or alleged intellectual property infringement. In order to qualify, an Indemnified Contributor must: a) promptly notify the Commercial Contributor in writing of such claim, and b) allow the Commercial Contributor to control, and cooperate with the Commercial Contributor in, the defense and any related settlement negotiations. The Indemnified Contributor may participate in any such claim at its own expense.
For example, a Contributor might include the Program in a commercial product offering, Product X. That Contributor is then a Commercial Contributor. If that Commercial Contributor then makes performance claims, or offers warranties related to Product X, those performance claims and warranties are such Commercial Contributor's responsibility alone. Under this section, the Commercial Contributor would have to defend claims against the other Contributors related to those performance claims and warranties, and if a court requires any other Contributor to pay any damages as a result, the Commercial Contributor must pay those damages.
5. NO WARRANTY
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, THE PROGRAM IS PROVIDED ON AN "AS IS" BASIS, WITHOUT WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF ANY KIND, EITHER EXPRESS OR IMPLIED INCLUDING, WITHOUT LIMITATION, ANY WARRANTIES OR CONDITIONS OF TITLE, NON-INFRINGEMENT, MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE. Each Recipient is solely responsible for determining the appropriateness of using and distributing the Program and assumes all risks associated with its exercise of rights under this Agreement, including but not limited to the risks and costs of program errors, compliance with applicable laws, damage to or loss of data, programs or equipment, and unavailability or interruption of operations.
6. DISCLAIMER OF LIABILITY
EXCEPT AS EXPRESSLY SET FORTH IN THIS AGREEMENT, NEITHER RECIPIENT NOR ANY CONTRIBUTORS SHALL HAVE ANY LIABILITY FOR ANY DIRECT, INDIRECT, INCIDENTAL, SPECIAL, EXEMPLARY, OR CONSEQUENTIAL DAMAGES (INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION LOST PROFITS), HOWEVER CAUSED AND ON ANY THEORY OF LIABILITY, WHETHER IN CONTRACT, STRICT LIABILITY, OR TORT (INCLUDING NEGLIGENCE OR OTHERWISE) ARISING IN ANY WAY OUT OF THE USE OR DISTRIBUTION OF THE PROGRAM OR THE EXERCISE OF ANY RIGHTS GRANTED HEREUNDER, EVEN IF ADVISED OF THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH DAMAGES.
7. GENERAL
If any provision of this Agreement is invalid or unenforceable under applicable law, it shall not affect the validity or enforceability of the remainder of the terms of this Agreement, and without further action by the parties hereto, such provision shall be reformed to the minimum extent necessary to make such provision valid and enforceable.
If Recipient institutes patent litigation against a Contributor with respect to a patent applicable to software (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit), then any patent licenses granted by that Contributor to such Recipient under this Agreement shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed. In addition, if Recipient institutes patent litigation against any entity (including a cross-claim or counterclaim in a lawsuit) alleging that the Program itself (excluding combinations of the Program with other software or hardware) infringes such Recipient's patent(s), then such Recipient's rights granted under Section 2(b) shall terminate as of the date such litigation is filed.
All Recipient's rights under this Agreement shall terminate if it fails to comply with any of the material terms or conditions of this Agreement and does not cure such failure in a reasonable period of time after becoming aware of such noncompliance. If all Recipient's rights under this Agreement terminate, Recipient agrees to cease use and distribution of the Program as soon as reasonably practicable. However, Recipient's obligations under this Agreement and any licenses granted by Recipient relating to the Program shall continue and survive.
Everyone is permitted to copy and distribute copies of this Agreement, but in order to avoid inconsistency the Agreement is copyrighted and may only be modified in the following manner. The Agreement Steward reserves the right to publish new versions (including revisions) of this Agreement from time to time. No one other than the Agreement Steward has the right to modify this Agreement. IBM is the initial Agreement Steward. IBM may assign the responsibility to serve as the Agreement Steward to a suitable separate entity. Each new version of the Agreement will be given a distinguishing version number.
