Demonstrates how to copy the entire contents of an IMAP mailbox to another IMAP server. Java

    try {
        System.loadLibrary("chilkat");
    } catch (UnsatisfiedLinkError e) {
      System.err.println("Native code library failed to load.\n" + e);
      System.exit(1);
    }
  }

  public static void main(String argv[])
  {
    boolean success = false;

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

    CkImap imapSrc = new CkImap();

    // Connect to our source IMAP server.
    success = imapSrc.Connect("imap.example.com");
    if (success == false) {
        System.out.println(imapSrc.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // Login to the source IMAP server
    success = imapSrc.Login("admin@chilkatsoft.com","myPassword");
    if (success == false) {
        System.out.println(imapSrc.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    CkImap imapDest = new CkImap();

    // Connect to our destination IMAP server.
    success = imapDest.Connect("mail.example-code.com");
    if (success == false) {
        System.out.println(imapDest.lastErrorText());
        return;

    // Select an IMAP mailbox on the source IMAP server
    success = imapSrc.SelectMailbox("Inbox");
    if (success == false) {

        return;
        }

    // After selecting a mailbox, the NumMessages property will
    // be updated to reflect the total number of emails in the mailbox:
    System.out.println(imapSrc.get_NumMessages());

    // The emails in the mailbox will always have sequence numbers
    // ranging from 1 to NumMessages.
