-- See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

local imap = chilkat.Imap.new()

-- Use TLS

local success = imap:connect("imap.gmail.com")
if not success then

-- Authenticate, but with an intentionally incorrect password
-- so we can see the contents of the LastErrorText, and also
-- the LastResponse and LastResponseCode properties.

if success then
    print("Successfull login, but this example is meant to demonstrate an error, such as a failed login.")

-- Let's look at the LastErrorText, and also the LastResponse and LastResponseCode.
