Secure IMAP over TLS/SSL

To communicate with an IMAP server over TLS/SSL, simply set the Ssl and Port properties. The remainder of your code is the same as with non-SSL. B4X

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim imap As ChilkatImap
imap.Initialize("imap")

'  To use a secure TLS/SSL connection, set the Ssl property and the port:
imap.Ssl = True
'  The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
imap.Port = 993

'  Connect to an IMAP server.
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com")
If success = False Then
    Log(imap.LastErrorText)
    Return

'  Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin", "myPassword")
