can somebody help me with this please

The Zimbra REST API is documented here: https://github.com/Zimbra/zm-mailbox/bl ... s/rest.txt

Search is available (see doc), but I do not believe there is any support for delete actions through that interface. You will need to use SOAP API (or some other interface) to delete items.

Is there a way to return some email messages (like 10 or 100) OR some mail ids from Inbox using Zimbra API (for example: https://servername/home/username/inbox? ... =is:unread)? Thanks!

By passing query parameter to the Rest API, you may obtain message information in JSON format and you can get message id from that message information.

Code: Select all

https://servername/home/username?fmt=json&query=QUERY_STRING

QUERY_STRING be like in:<FOLDERNAME> AND after:<MM/DD/YYY> AND before:<MM/DD/YYYY>


API request: 
https://servername/home/username?fmt=json&query=in:<FOLDERNAME> AND after:<MM/DD/YYY> AND before:<MM/DD/YYYY>

Example: (below request provides Inbox folder's messages which received on 3-May-2023.)
https://servername/home/username?fmt=json&query=in:inbox AND after:5/2/2023 AND before:5/4/2023

You can refer this https://wiki.zimbra.com/wiki/Zimbra_Web ... earch_Tips to prepare QUERY_STRING.
