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

#  Connect to an IMAP server.
success = imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com")
if (success != true)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
if (success != true)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  Create the new email folder (sub-mailbox) on the IMAP server.
#  If no folder path is provided, the new folder is a sub-mailbox of Inbox.
success = imap.CreateMailbox("newFolder")
if (success != true)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit
end

#  (In GMail, folders are called "labels".
#  This example would create a new "label" in GMail.)

#  Now create a sub-folder under "newFolder".
#  Make sure to use the proper separator char for your IMAP server.
#  The separator char used here is "/".   It is typically "/" or ".".
#  The SeparatorChar property contains the separator char
#  that should be used for the current IMAP session.
success = imap.CreateMailbox("newFolder/subFolder_A")
if (success != true)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n"
    exit
end

print "Success." + "\n"
