import sys
import chilkat2

success = False

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

imap = chilkat2.Imap()

# Connect to an IMAP server.
# Use TLS
imap.Ssl = True
imap.Port = 993
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com")
if (success == False):
    print(imap.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Login
success = imap.Login("admin@chilkatsoft.com","myPassword")
if (success == False):
    print(imap.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Get the list of mailboxes.
refName = ""
wildcardedMailbox = "*"
subscribed = False

mboxes = chilkat2.Mailboxes()
success = imap.MbxList(subscribed,refName,wildcardedMailbox,mboxes)
if (success == False):
    print(imap.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

i = 0
while i < mboxes.Count :
    print(mboxes.GetName(i))
    i = i + 1

# Sample output looks like this:
# INBOX.vendors.shareit
# INBOX.vendors.paypal
# INBOX.vendors.dell
# INBOX.vendors.inMotion
# INBOX.vendors.myhosting
# INBOX.vendors.peer1

# Disconnect from the IMAP server.
success = imap.Disconnect()
