Sends an email and places a copy in the "Sent" mailbox on an IMAP server.

This example demonstrates how to send an email and then upload a copy to an IMAP mail server's "Sent" mailbox. Note: You may need to create a "Sent" mailbox on your IMAP server prior to running this example. You may already have a mailbox named something different -- perhaps "Sent Items".

Important: If your mail server is POP3, the "Sent Items" mailbox is actually a file on your local computer managed by your email client, such as Outlook, Mozilla Thunderbird. This example does not save emails to Outlook or Mozilla Thunderbird "Sent Items" local files.

//  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
Chilkat.MailMan mailman = new Chilkat.MailMan();

//  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
bool success;
success = mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show("Component unlock failed");
    return;
}

//  Set the SMTP server.
mailman.SmtpHost = "mail.chilkatsoft.com";
mailman.SmtpUsername = "myLogin";
mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword";

//  Create a new email object
Chilkat.Email email = new Chilkat.Email();

email.Subject = "This is a test";
email.Body = "This is a test";
email.From = "Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>";
email.AddTo("Chilkat Admin","admin@chilkatsoft.com");

success = mailman.SendEmail(email);
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(mailman.LastErrorText);
}
else {
    MessageBox.Show("Mail Sent!");

    //  Now use Chilkat IMAP to save the email to Inbox.Sent

    Chilkat.Imap imap = new Chilkat.Imap();

    //  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;
    }

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

    //  The AppendMail method uploads an email to an IMAP server
    //  and saves it in the mailbox specified:
    success = imap.AppendMail("Inbox.Sent",email);
