Share an Existing SSH Tunnel (Socket) with IMAP

See more IMAP Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat Imap.UseSshTunnel method, which uses an existing SSH tunnel, represented by a Socket object, for IMAP connections. The only argument is the Socket. Call it before Connect. This example opens and authenticates the tunnel on a Socket, then routes IMAP through it.
