Demonstrates how to list all sub-mailboxes within a specified context. In this case, we list all mailboxes under "INBOX.vendors".

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;
}

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

// Login
success = imap.Login("admin@chilkatsoft.com","*myPassword5*");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The ListMailboxes method returns a Mailboxes object
// that contains the collection of mailboxes.
// It accepts two arguments: a refName and a wildcardedMailbox.

// List all mailboxes under INBOX.vendors
string refName;
refName = "INBOX.vendors";

// Select all mailboxes matching this pattern:
string wildcardedMailbox;
wildcardedMailbox = "*";

Chilkat.Mailboxes mboxes;
mboxes = imap.ListMailboxes(refName,wildcardedMailbox);
if (mboxes == null ) {
    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

int i;
for (i = 0; i <= mboxes.Count - 1; i++) {
    textBox1.Text += mboxes.GetName(i) + "\r\n";
    textBox1.Refresh();
}

// Sample output looks like this:
// INBOX.vendors.shareit
// INBOX.vendors.paypal
// INBOX.vendors.dell
// INBOX.vendors.inMotion
// INBOX.vendors.myhosting
// INBOX.vendors.peer1

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