Create Email Folder (sub-Mailbox)

How to create a new email folder (sub-mailbox). (In GMail, folders are called "labels". This example would create a new "label" in GMail.) Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local imap = chilkat.Imap.new()

imap.ssl = true
imap.port = 993

-- Connect to an IMAP server.
local success = imap:connect("imap.gmail.com")
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Login
success = imap:login("myLogin", "myPassword")
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Create the new email folder (sub-mailbox) on the IMAP server.
-- If no folder path is provided, the new folder is a sub-mailbox of Inbox.
success = imap:create_mailbox("newFolder")
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- (In GMail, folders are called "labels".
-- This example would create a new "label" in GMail.)

-- Now create a sub-folder under "newFolder".
-- Make sure to use the proper separator char for your IMAP server.
-- The separator char used here is "/".   It is typically "/" or ".".
-- The SeparatorChar property contains the separator char
-- that should be used for the current IMAP session.
success = imap:create_mailbox("newFolder/subFolder_A")
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

print("Success.")
