Copy an Email from One Mailbox to Another

Copies an email from one IMAP folder to another. After running this example, copies of the email will be present in both source and destination folders. C#

bool success = false;

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

// This example copies an email from one mailbox to another.

// Turn on session logging:
imap.KeepSessionLog = true;

// Connect to an IMAP server.
// Use TLS

if (success == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;

// Alternatively, loop over each message in the set and
// copy each separately:

    }

    i = i + 1;
}

// Display the session log.
Debug.WriteLine(imap.SessionLog);

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
