Hello,

In Gmail, I am able to forward an existing email with an attachment without reuploading the attachment over again. How do I do this in MailBee.NET ? Thanks in advance.

We suggest using ForwardAsAttachment method for this.

But with this method, won't you still need to reupload the original attachment too?

It accepts compete EML message with all headers, body parts and attachments which are there already.

But, of course, message will be re-sent completely, and if it has, say, 10Mb attachment, it will be sent over SMTP once again.

How is it then possible that in Gmail, you don't need to reupload the attachment while forwarding? Tried it with a 24Mb attachment size and it was almost instantaneous.

It doesn't matter if it's Gmail or not. If you have the attachment on the server, you obviously don't need to reupload it. Thus, if you're using Gmail as webmail, it will occur instantly. If you don't have attachment on the server (for instance, you're forwarding e-mail in your Outlook Express or Thunderbird and use Gmail over POP3 or IMAP), you'll certainly need to send the forwarded email to the server. And it will take as long as required to send 24MB.

Alex

The same is true with MailBee.NET Objects. If it's installed on the server where you have your attachments (the case of Gmail's webmail), you'll don't need to upload them. Uploading is the process of getting data in the right place. If the data is already there, you don't need to upload it.

yeah that's right coz if so, there will be a redundancy...right?
and it is not very ideal to do the same process if the file is already there.

Exactly. This way webamil applications are more effective than desktop mail clients (which need to reupload the message to the server).

Resending a message without reuploading it would work even with a desktop mail client if there were an option or command in POP3 or IMAP to resend the existing message to SMTP. However, there is none. SMTP only accepts raw data stream, the and the desktop mail client can't tell SMTP server "get the message data from IMAP service of the same server" or even "get the message file from your database and send it again".

The workaround could be if there were a special IMAP folder like Outbox. Move a message there - and it's got sent. But there is none either. I guess you can send only via SMTP due to security restrictions. Otherwise, it would be one more potential way to send spam.

Alex
