  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(imap.LastErrorText);

//  ...

//  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
//  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.
