*  This example copies an email from one mailbox to another.
loImap = CreateObject('Chilkat.Imap')

*  Anything unlocks the component and begins a fully-functional 30-day trial.
lnSuccess = loImap.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loImap.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Turn on session logging:
loImap.KeepSessionLog = 1

*  Connect to an IMAP server.
lnSuccess = loImap.Connect("mail.chilkatsoft.com")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loImap.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Login
lnSuccess = loImap.Login("***","***")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loImap.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Select an IMAP mailbox
lnSuccess = loImap.SelectMailbox("Inbox.testing.a")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loImap.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

lnFetchUids = 1

*  Get the message IDs for all emails having "Re:" in the subject.
loMessageSet = loImap.Search("SUBJECT Re:",lnFetchUids)
IF (loMessageSet = NULL ) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loImap.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Copy the messages from "Inbox.testing.a" to "Inbox.testing.b" in one call to CopyMultiple:
lnSuccess = loImap.CopyMultiple(loMessageSet,"Inbox.testing.b")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loImap.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Alternatively, loop over each message in the set and
*  copy each separately:

n = loMessageSet.Count
IF (n > 0) THEN
    FOR i = 0 TO n - 1

        lnMsgId = loMessageSet.GetId(i)

        lnIsUid = loMessageSet.HasUids
        lnSuccess = loImap.Copy(lnMsgId,lnIsUid,"Inbox.testing.c")
        IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
            =MESSAGEBOX(loImap.LastErrorText)
            QUIT
        ENDIF

    NEXT
ENDIF

*  Display the session log.
? loImap.SessionLog

*  Disconnect from the IMAP server.
loImap.Disconnect()
