Use the AppendMailAsync method call to append an email to an IMAP mailbox. AutoIt

; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; The following is a general note that applies to all programming languages:
; -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; Your application can keep a reference to the task object and periodically check back later to see if it's finished.
; If your programming language is one that supports callbacks, then the TaskCompleted callback can
; be setup to be called when the task completes.  (See the "Async" category on example-code.com for more information.)
; 
; NOTE: This is very important:  A TaskCompleted callback runs in the background thread.  
; (All callbacks from an async task, such as AbortCheck, PercentDone, ProgressInfo, etc. are in the background thread.) 
; An application that uses TaskCompleted must be very careful.  
; For example, user interface elements (such as labels, text boxes, etc.) may not be directly
; accessible from a background thread, and could crash the application if directly accessed.  Also, attempting to debug
; code running in a background thread from an IDE, especially an older IDE (such as VB6) is likely to crash the IDE.
