    //  Use TLS

    //  Imagine we've sent this email via SMTP, and now we want to 
    //  save the email to our "Sent" mailbox.  On GMail, the mailbox name
    //  for sent email is "[Gmail]/Sent Mail".

    //  Call the async version of the AppendMail method to return a task object.
    // task: Task
    var task = imap.AppendMailAsync("[Gmail]/Sent Mail",email);

        console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
        return;

    //  Schedule the task for running on the thread pool.  This changes the task's state
    //  from Inert to Live.  The task is now running...

    //  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  The following is a general note that applies to all programming languages:
    //  -------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    //  Your application can keep a reference to the task object and periodically check back later to see if it's finished.
    //  If your programming language is one that supports callbacks, then the TaskCompleted callback can
    //  be setup to be called when the task completes.  (See the "Async" category on example-code.com for more information.)
    //  
    //  NOTE: This is very important:  A TaskCompleted callback runs in the background thread.  
    //  (All callbacks from an async task, such as AbortCheck, PercentDone, ProgressInfo, etc. are in the background thread.) 
    //  An application that uses TaskCompleted must be very careful.  
    //  For example, user interface elements (such as labels, text boxes, etc.) may not be directly
    //  accessible from a background thread, and could crash the application if directly accessed.  Also, attempting to debug
    //  code running in a background thread from an IDE, especially an older IDE (such as VB6) is likely to crash the IDE.
