How can I limit the number of emails I want to search?

I'm using nodejs with the library imap, and I'm trying to only get the last email but i don't know the parameter exact to filter. Does anyone know? Thank you!

const imap = new Imap(imapConfig);
            imap.once('ready', () => {
                imap.openBox('INBOX', false, () => {
                    imap.search(['ALL', ['SINCE', new Date()]], (err, results) => {
                        const f = imap.fetch(results, { bodies: '' });
Solution

  • Looking at the documentation, it doesn't look like you can. But you can use RECENT instead of ALL and then in the callback just get the first item in the array
