Secure IMAP over SSL

Download Chilkat IMAP ActiveX

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.

Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True)

set imap = CreateObject("Chilkat.Imap")

'  Anything unlocks the component and begins a fully-functional 30-day trial.
success = imap.UnlockComponent("Anything for 30-day trial")
If (success <> 1) Then
    MsgBox imap.LastErrorText
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  To use a secure SSL connection, set SSL and the port:
imap.Ssl = 1
'  The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
imap.Port = 993

'  Connect to an IMAP server.
success = imap.Connect("mail.chilkatsoft.com")
If (success <> 1) Then
    MsgBox imap.LastErrorText
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> 1) Then
    MsgBox imap.LastErrorText
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
If (success <> 1) Then
    MsgBox imap.LastErrorText
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
fetchUids = 1
'  Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
Set messageSet = imap.Search("ALL",fetchUids)
If (messageSet Is Nothing ) Then
    MsgBox imap.LastErrorText
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  Fetch the emails into a bundle object:

Set bundle = imap.FetchBundle(messageSet)
If (bundle Is Nothing ) Then

    MsgBox imap.LastErrorText
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.

For i = 0 To bundle.MessageCount - 1

    Set email = bundle.GetEmail(i)
    outFile.WriteLine(email.From)
    outFile.WriteLine(email.Subject)
    outFile.WriteLine("--")

Next

'  Disconnect from the IMAP server.
imap.Disconnect 


outFile.Close
