//  The AutoUnwrapSecurity method controls whether signed/encrypted emails are automatically
//  decrypted and/or verified.

//  When set to true, which is the default, security envelopes are automatically "unwrapped"
//  when a message is retrieved from the server. Signed emails are automatically verified, and
//  encrypted emails are automatically decrypted, restoring the email to the original state before
//  signing and/or encrypting. Information about the signing and encrypting certificates can be
//  retrieved from the Email object (methods: GetSignedByCert, GetEncryptedByCert;
//  properties: SignedBy, EncryptedBy, SignaturesValid, Decrypted, ReceivedSigned,
//  ReceivedEncrypted).

//  This example will explicity set AutoUnwrapSecurity to true, even though it's
//  already the default value:
imap.AutoUnwrapSecurity = true;
