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

#  Turn on session logging:
$imap->put_KeepSessionLog(1);

#  Connect to GMail
#  Chilkat automatically recognizes "imap.gmail.com" and,
#  because it's so common, automatically sets the port = 993
#  and uses a secure SSL/TLS connection.
$success = $imap->Connect("imap.gmail.com");

    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  Login
#  Your login is typically your GMail email address.
$success = $imap->Login('username@gmail.com',"myPassword");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  Select an IMAP mailbox
$success = $imap->SelectMailbox("Inbox");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  Show the session log.
print $imap->sessionLog() . "\r\n";

#  Disconnect from the IMAP server.
$imap->Disconnect();
