LOCAL loImap
LOCAL lcSearchCriteria
LOCAL lnBUid
LOCAL lcSortCriteria
LOCAL loMsgSetObj
LOCAL loMset
LOCAL lnSuccess

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Imap')
loImap = CreateObject('Chilkat.Imap')

* ...

lcSearchCriteria = "FROM bob@example.com"
lnBUid = 1
lcSortCriteria = "DATE SUBJECT"

* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* The Sort method is deprecated:

loMsgSetObj = loImap.Sort(lcSortCriteria,"utf-8",lcSearchCriteria,lnBUid)
IF (loImap.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* ...
* ...

RELEASE loMsgSetObj

* ------------------------------------------------------------------------
* 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.
loImap.SortCriteria = "DATE SUBJECT"
loImap.SearchCharset = "utf-8"

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.MessageSet')
loMset = CreateObject('Chilkat.MessageSet')
lnSuccess = loImap.QueryMbx(lcSearchCriteria,lnBUid,loMset)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    RELEASE loMset
    CANCEL
