Copies an email from one IMAP folder to another. After running this example, copies of the email will be present in both source and destination folders.

//  This example copies an email from one mailbox to another.
Chilkat.Imap imap = new Chilkat.Imap();

bool success;

//  Anything unlocks the component and begins a fully-functional 30-day trial.
success = imap.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Turn on session logging:
imap.KeepSessionLog = true;

//  Connect to an IMAP server.
success = imap.Connect("mail.chilkatsoft.com");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Login
success = imap.Login("***","***");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox.testing.a");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

Chilkat.MessageSet messageSet = null;
bool fetchUids;
fetchUids = true;

//  Get the message IDs for all emails having "Re:" in the subject.
messageSet = imap.Search("SUBJECT Re:",fetchUids);
if (messageSet == null ) {
    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Copy the messages from "Inbox.testing.a" to "Inbox.testing.b" in one call to CopyMultiple:
success = imap.CopyMultiple(messageSet,"Inbox.testing.b");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Alternatively, loop over each message in the set and
//  copy each separately:
int i;
int n;
n = messageSet.Count;
if (n > 0) {
    for (i = 0; i <= n - 1; i++) {
        int msgId;
        msgId = messageSet.GetId(i);
        bool isUid;
        isUid = messageSet.HasUids;
        success = imap.Copy(msgId,isUid,"Inbox.testing.c");
        if (success != true) {
            MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
            return;
        }

    }

}

//  Display the session log.
textBox1.Text += imap.SessionLog + "\r\n";

//  Disconnect from the IMAP server.
imap.Disconnect();
