Enum MailRuleOutcome

Namespace

MailFathom.Application.Rules

Assembly

MailFathom.Application.dll

What one rule concluded about one email.

public enum MailRuleOutcome

Fields

Failed = 2

The condition produced no answer, and the reason is recorded beside this.

Matched = 0

The condition answered that the email matches.

NotMatched = 1

The condition answered that the email does not match.

Remarks

Three values rather than a boolean, because a rule that could not be evaluated is neither of the other two. Folding it into either would be the silent failure this whole contract exists to prevent: into a match, and a rule acts on mail it never actually matched; into a non-match, and a rule that has stopped working looks exactly like a rule nothing matches.
