*  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

*  To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
*  properties prior to connecting with the IMAP server:
*  The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or
*  IP address:
loImap.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
loImap.SocksPort = 1080
loImap.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
loImap.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"
*  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
*  of the SOCKS proxy server:
loImap.SocksVersion = 5
*  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
*  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

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

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

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

*  We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.

lnFetchUids = 1
*  Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
loMessageSet = loImap.Search("ALL",lnFetchUids)
IF (loMessageSet = NULL ) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loImap.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Fetch the emails into a bundle object:

loBundle = loImap.FetchBundle(loMessageSet)
IF (loBundle = NULL ) THEN
    RELEASE loMessageSet
    =MESSAGEBOX(loImap.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.

FOR i = 0 TO loBundle.MessageCount - 1

    loEmail = loBundle.GetEmail(i)
    ? loEmail.From
    ? loEmail.Subject
    ? "--"
    RELEASE loEmail
NEXT

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