Secure IMAP over TLS/SSL

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

*  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 secure TLS/SSL connection, set the Ssl property and the port:
loImap.Ssl = 1
*  The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
loImap.Port = 993

*  Connect to an IMAP server.
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()
