var success = false;

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

var imap = new CkImap();

// Connect to the IMAP server.
// Use TLS
imap.Ssl = true;
imap.Port = 993;
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox");
if (success == false) {
    console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

var fetchUids = true;
var messageSet = new CkMessageSet();
success = imap.QueryMbx("ALL",fetchUids,messageSet);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Fetch the email headers into a bundle object:
var bundle = new CkEmailBundle();
var headersOnly = true;
success = imap.FetchMsgSet(headersOnly,messageSet,bundle);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Sort the email bundle by date, recipient, sender, or subject:
var ascending = true;
bundle.SortByDate(ascending);

// To sort by recipient, sender, or subject, call 
// SortBySender, SortByRecipient, or SortBySubject.

// Display the Subject and From of each email.
var email = new CkEmail();
var i = 0;
while (i < bundle.MessageCount) {
    bundle.EmailAt(i,email);

    console.log(email.GetHeaderField("Date"));
    console.log(email.Subject);
    console.log(email.From);
    console.log("--");

    i = i+1;
}

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
success = imap.Disconnect();
