Demonstrates how to use a client-side certificate with an IMAP SSL connection. The SetSslClientCert method is called to specify a certificate to be used for the SSL connection.

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

    //  To use a secure SSL connection, set SSL and the port:
    imap.SetSsl(true)
    //  The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
    imap.SetPort(993)

    //  Load a certificate from a PFX file and use it.
    //  Note: Other methods are available to load pre-installed
    //  certificates from registry-based certificate stores.

    //  Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
    //  locate the certificate we need, and use it for signing.
    //  (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
