Enclosing class:

FetchProfile

public static class FetchProfile.Item

extends java.lang.Object

This inner class is the base class of all items that can be requested in a FetchProfile. The items currently defined here are ENVELOPE, CONTENT_INFO and FLAGS. The UIDFolder interface defines the UID Item as well.

Note that this class only has a protected constructor, therby restricting new Item types to either this class or subclasses. This effectively implements a enumeration of allowed Item types.
