#   "refresh_token": "AIenVXETSo0jklFBVkPS8vVm8E.Ej9ToRG.xDbDYmZ65WIs5t6CZhDrD",

# The ListMailboxes method returns a Mailboxes object
# that contains the collection of mailboxes.
# It accepts two arguments: a refName and a wildcardedMailbox.

$refName = "";
# refName is usually set to an empty string.
# A non-empty reference name argument is the name of a mailbox or a level of
# mailbox hierarchy, and indicates the context in which the mailbox
# name is interpreted.

# Select all mailboxes matching this pattern:
$wildcardedMailbox = "*";

# mboxes is a Mailboxes
$mboxes = $imap->ListMailboxes($refName,$wildcardedMailbox);
if ($imap->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

$i = 0;
while ($i < $mboxes->get_Count()) {

# Sample output looks like this:

# Archive
# Bulk Mail
# Draft
# Inbox
# Inbox/emailsWithAttach
# Inbox/test
# Sent
# Trash

# Disconnect from the IMAP server.
