Chilkat.Imap imap = new Chilkat.Imap();

// ...
// ...

string searchCriteria = "FROM bob@example.com";
bool bUid = true;
string sortCriteria = "DATE SUBJECT";

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// The Sort method is deprecated:

Chilkat.MessageSet msgSetObj = imap.Sort(sortCriteria,"utf-8",searchCriteria,bUid);
if (imap.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// ...
// ...

// ------------------------------------------------------------------------
// Do the equivalent using QueryMbx.
// Your application creates a new, empty MessageSet object which is passed 
// in the last argument and filled upon success.

// The following properties are used instead of function arguments.
imap.SortCriteria = "DATE SUBJECT";
imap.SearchCharset = "utf-8";

Chilkat.MessageSet mset = new Chilkat.MessageSet();
bool success = imap.QueryMbx(searchCriteria,bUid,mset);
if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
