Attributes

Attribute	Req/Opt	Description
`name`	Required	The type of filter to use.
`from`	Optional	The start date or date/time combination of the range to use for filtering. Cannot be used with the `value` attribute. If you specify a `from` attribute without a `to` attribute, the filter selects for all entries on or after the specified date or time. The value can be in any date/time format recognized by ColdFusion, but must correspond to a value that is appropriate for the filter type.
`to`	Optional	The end date or date/time combination for the range used for filtering. Cannot be used with the `value` attribute. If you specify a `to` attribute without a `from` attribute, the filter selects for all entries on or before the specified date or time. The value can be in any date/time format recognized by ColdFusion, but must correspond to a value that is appropriate for the filter type.
`value`	Optional	The filter value for all filters that do not take a date or time range. Cannot be used with the `from` and `to` attributes`.` ColdFusion generates an error if you specify this attribute with an empty contents. Therefore, you cannot use the empty string to search for empty values. If you set this attribute to the empty string (""), ColdFusion searches for entries where the specified field is empty. 6.07

The cfexchangecontact tag filters can have the following name attributes and associated value attributes. Unlike other tags, you do not use from or to attributes.

name attribute	value attribute

`email3`	A string.

The cfexchangemail tag filters can have the following name attributes and associated value, or to and from attributes that you use to specify the filter parameters for the specified action:

name attribute	Specification attributes	Specification attribute values
`maxRows`	`value`	A positive integer that specifies the maximum number of matching rows to return. By default, the maximum number of rows is 100. You can also specify -1; to return all matching rows.
`bcc`	`value`	A comma-delimited list of Exchange or web e-mail addresses.
`cc`	`value`	A comma-delimited list of Exchange or web e-mail addresses.
`folder`	`value`	The forward slash (/) delimited path from the root of the Exchange mailbox to the folder to search. By default, the filter searches the top level of the Inbox. The `cfexchangemail` tag searches only the specified folder, and does not search any subfolders. If a folder name contains a forward slash, use the _xF8FF_ escape sequence to specify the character in the name. For the `get` and `move` actions, you can use the `cfexchangemail` tag `folder` attribute instead of this field; however, this field takes precedence over the value specified in the `folder` attribute.
`fromID`	`value`	An Exchange or web e-mail address.
`hasAttachment`	`value`	A Boolean value
`importance`	`value`	One of the following values: `high` `normal` `low`
`isRead`	`value`	A Boolean value.
`message`	`value`	A string.
`MessageType`	`value`	One of the following values: `Mail`, `Meeting`, `Meeting_Cancel`, `Meeting_Request`, `Meeting_Response`, or `All`. If you omit this attribute, the filter gets messages of all types. The `Meeting` attribute gets messages with `Meeting_Cancel`, `Meeting_Request`, and `Meeting_Response` types.
`MeetingUID`	`value`	A case-sensitive Exchange calendar event UID. Meeting UIDs are used in `Meeting_request` or `Meeting_response` message types only. Do not specify this field if you specify a MessageType field value of `Mail`.
`sensitivity`	`value`	One of the following values: `normal` `personal` `private` `confidential`
`subject`	`value`	A string.
`timeReceived`	`from` `to`	A string that ColdFusion can interpret as a date-time value.
`timeSent`	`from` `to`	A string that ColdFusion can interpret as a date-time value.

`uid`	`value`	A case-sensitive Exchange message UID.

The cfexchangetask tag filters can have the following name attributes and associated value, or to and from attributes that you use to specify the filter parameters for the specified action:

name attribute	Specification attributes	Specification attribute values
`maxRows`	`value`	A positive integer specifying the maximum number of matching rows to return. By default, the maximum number of rows is 100. You can also specify -1; to return all matching rows.
`actualWork`	`value`	A number representing the number of hours. Use decimal numbers to specify minutes.
`billingInfo`	`value`	A string.
`companies`	`value`	A string.

`dueDate`	`from` `to`	A string that ColdFusion can interpret as a date-time value.

`percentCompleted`	`value`	A number between 0 and 100.

`totalWork`	`value`	A number that represents the number of hours. Use decimal numbers to specify minutes.

Usage

The cfexchangefilter tag specifies the conditions to match when ColdFusion gets mail messages, calendar entries, tasks, or contacts. Only those entries that match the specified filter conditions are returned in the structure specified by the parent tag’s name attribute. If the filter specifies a field that takes a text string, such as Message and or Subject, ColdFusion returns items that contain the exact phrase that you specify in the value attribute.

The cfexchangefilter tag must be a child tag of a cfexchangecalendar, cfexchangecontact, cfexchangemail, or cfexchangetask tag with an action attribute value of get.

If you specify multiple cfexchangefilter tags in the body of a ColdFusion exchange tag, such as cfexchangemail, the specified filters are cumulative, and the selected records match the conditions specified in all the cfexchangefilter tags. If you specify multiple cfexchangefilter tags with the same name attribute value, the last tag with that attribute specifies the filter conditions.

Example

The following example gets the mail messages that were sent to a user during the last week from any e-mail address that includes adobe.com. To focus on getting messages, rather than on displaying data, the example uses the cfdump tag to show the results.

<cfset endTime = Now()> 
<cfset startTime = DateAdd("d","-7", endTime)> 
<cfexchangemail action="get" name="weeksMail" server="#exchangeServerIP#" 
        username ="#user1#" password="#password1#"> 
    <cfexchangefilter name="FromID" value="adobe.com"> 
    <cfexchangefilter name="TimeSent" from="#startTime#" to="#endTime#"> 
</cfexchangemail> 
 
<cfdump var="#weeksMail#">
