To communicate with an IMAP server over SSL, simply set the Ssl and Port properties. The remainder of your code is the same as with non-SSL.

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;
}

//  To use a secure SSL connection, set SSL and the port:
imap.Ssl = true;
//  The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
imap.Port = 993;

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

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

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

Chilkat.MessageSet messageSet = null;
//  We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
bool fetchUids;
fetchUids = true;
//  Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
messageSet = imap.Search("ALL",fetchUids);
if (messageSet == null ) {
    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
Chilkat.EmailBundle bundle = null;
bundle = imap.FetchBundle(messageSet);
if (bundle == null ) {

    MessageBox.Show(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
int i;
for (i = 0; i <= bundle.MessageCount - 1; i++) {
    Chilkat.Email email = null;
    email = bundle.GetEmail(i);
    textBox1.Text += email.From + "\r\n";
    textBox1.Refresh();
    textBox1.Text += email.Subject + "\r\n";
    textBox1.Refresh();
    textBox1.Text += "--" + "\r\n";
    textBox1.Refresh();

}

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