C++ code to copy email from one IMAP mailbox to another. This does not remove the email from the source mailbox.

// The Chilkat IMAP SDK is also available as an ActiveX component
// or .NET class with the identical set of methods and properties.

// Copy emails from one mailbox to another.
void ImapExample(void)
    {
    CkImap imap;
    
    // Any string passed to UnlockComponent automatically begins the 30-day trial.
    if (!imap.UnlockComponent("30-day trial"))
	{
	printf("Failed to unlock component\n");
	imap.SaveLastError("errorLog.xml");
	return;
	}

    // Connect to the IMAP server.
    if (!imap.Connect("localhost"))
	{
	printf("Failed to connect to IMAP server\n");
	imap.SaveLastError("errorLog.xml");
	return;
	}

    // Login to the IMAP server.
    if (!imap.Login("chilkat","chilkat"))
	{
	printf("Failed to login to IMAP server\n");
	imap.SaveLastError("errorLog.xml");
	return;
	}
    
    imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox");

    // Get a message set containing all the message IDs
    // in the selected mailbox.
    CkMessageSet *msgSet = 0;
    msgSet = imap.Search("ALL",true);

    // Copy all emails from Inbox to the mailbox named "Important"
    int i;
    for (i=0; i<msgSet->get_Count(); i++)
	{
	if (!imap.Copy(msgSet->GetId(i),true,"Important"))
	    {
	    printf("Failed to copy message ID %d\n",msgSet->GetId(i));
	    }
	}

    // Disconnect from the IMAP server.
    imap.Logout();
    imap.Disconnect();

    return;
    }
