Fetch Single Email by UID or Sequence Number

Assuming the UID is known, download a single email by UID from an IMAP mail server.

bool success = false;

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

// When a full email is downloaded, we would use the
