//  Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword");

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

//  The NumMessages property contains the number of messages in the selected mailbox.
int numToFetch;
numToFetch = imap.NumMessages;
//  Download all the email in the Inbox.
Chilkat.StringArray sa = null;
sa = imap.FetchSequenceAsMime(1,numToFetch);
if (sa == null ) {
    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Loop over the MIME strings contained within sa:
int i;
for (i = 0; i <= sa.Count - 1; i++) {
    string strMime;
    strMime = sa.GetString(i);

    //  Now you have the MIME source of this email...
}

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