(JavaScript) Secure IMAP over TLS/SSL

To communicate with an IMAP server over TLS/SSL, simply set the Ssl and Port properties. The remainder of your code is the same as with non-SSL.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v11.0.0 or greater.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

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

var imap = new CkImap();

// To use a secure TLS/SSL connection, set the Ssl property and the port:
imap.Ssl = true;
// The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
imap.Port = 993;

// Connect to an IMAP server.
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;
}

// Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
var fetchUids = true;
var messageSet = new CkMessageSet();
success = imap.QueryMbx("ALL",fetchUids,messageSet);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

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

// Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
var email = new CkEmail();
var i = 0;
var numEmails = bundle.MessageCount;
while (i < numEmails) {
    bundle.EmailAt(i,email);

    console.log(email.From);
    console.log(email.Subject);
    console.log("--");
    i = i+1;
}

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