#  The AutoUnwrapSecurity method controls whether signed/encrypted emails are automatically
#  decrypted and/or verified.

#  When set to true, which is the default, security envelopes are automatically "unwrapped"
#  when a message is retrieved from the server. Signed emails are automatically verified, and
#  encrypted emails are automatically decrypted, restoring the email to the original state before
#  signing and/or encrypting. Information about the signing and encrypting certificates can be
#  retrieved from the Email object (methods: GetSignedByCert, GetEncryptedByCert;
#  properties: SignedBy, EncryptedBy, SignaturesValid, Decrypted, ReceivedSigned,
#  ReceivedEncrypted).

#  This example will explicity set AutoUnwrapSecurity to true, even though it's
#  already the default value:
imap.put_AutoUnwrapSecurity(true)

#  The NumMessages property contains the number of messages in the selected mailbox.

    #  whether it was successfully unwrapped and who signed or encrypted it:
