Demonstrates how to download the MIME source for emails on an IMAP server. C#

bool success = false;

// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

Chilkat.Imap imap = new Chilkat.Imap();

// Connect to an IMAP server.
// Use TLS
imap.Ssl = true;
imap.Port = 993;
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox");
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The NumMessages property contains the number of messages in the selected mailbox.
int numMessages = imap.NumMessages;
if (numMessages == 0) {
    Debug.WriteLine("No messages exist in the Inbox.");
    return;
}

Chilkat.StringBuilder sbMime = new Chilkat.StringBuilder();
int seqNum;
for (seqNum = 1; seqNum <= numMessages; seqNum++) {
    sbMime.Clear();
    success = imap.FetchSingleAsMimeSb(seqNum,false,sbMime);
    if (success == false) {
        Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // The MIME source of the downloaded email is contained in sbMime.
}

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
success = imap.Disconnect();
