Append (Upload) an Email to an IMAP Mailbox

See more IMAP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Imap.AppendMail method, which uploads an Email object to a mailbox on the server. The first argument is the destination mailbox name and the second is the Email. After a successful append, the AppendUid property holds the UID the server assigned (or 0 if none was reported). This example uploads a newly built message to the Drafts mailbox.
