    //  Anything unlocks the component and begins a fully-functional 30-day trial.

        SetDlgItemText(IDC_EDIT1,strOut.getUnicode());

    }

    //  To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
    //  and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
    //  and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
    //  HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
    imap.put_HttpProxyHostname("www.myhttpproxy.com");
    imap.put_HttpProxyPort(3128);

    //  Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
    //  traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

    //  Connect to an IMAP server through the HTTP proxy.
    success = imap.Connect("mail.chilkatsoft.com");
