#  Anything unlocks the component and begins a fully-functional 30-day trial.
success = imap.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")

    print imap.lastErrorText()
    sys.exit()

#  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")
