Note: You can specify this tag's attributes in an attributeCollection attribute whose value is a structure. Specify the structure name in the attributeCollection attribute and use the tag's attribute names as structure keys.

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 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:

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.
