Secure IMAP over SSL

To communicate with an IMAP server over 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.
$success = $imap->UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial");

#  To use a secure SSL connection, set SSL and the port:
$imap->put_Ssl(1);
#  The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
$imap->put_Port(993);

#  Connect to an IMAP server.
$success = $imap->Connect("mail.chilkatsoft.com");
