Description

This update addresses an issue in the Mail Reader Sampler where the default behavior retrieves the oldest emails instead of the most recent ones. The fix modifies the getMessages method to correctly fetch the last n messages from the mailbox.

Adjusted the indices in the folder.getMessages() call to dynamically calculate the range for the most recent messages.
Added error handling for cases where n exceeds the total number of messages.

Motivation and Context

This change is required to resolve a common issue with the Mail Reader Sampler, where users typically need the most recent emails rather than the oldest ones. By implementing this fix:

How Has This Been Tested?

  1. Test Scenarios:
  • Mailbox with fewer than n emails: Verified that all available emails are fetched.
  • Mailbox with more than n emails: Confirmed that only the last n messages are retrieved.
  • Boundary conditions: Tested with n=1, n=total_message_count, and n=total_message_count + 1.
  1. Environment:
  • Tested on a Gmail IMAP mailbox and a local test IMAP server.
  • Verified compatibility with both SSL and non-SSL connections.
  1. Results:
  • All test cases passed successfully.
  • No observed regressions in functionality.
