Transition from Imap.Sort to Imap.QueryMbx

Provides instructions for replacing deprecated Sort method calls with QueryMbx. CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

imap = chilkat.CkImap()

# ...
# ...

searchCriteria = "FROM bob@example.com"
bUid = True
sortCriteria = "DATE SUBJECT"

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The Sort method is deprecated:

# msgSetObj is a CkMessageSet
msgSetObj = imap.Sort(sortCriteria,"UTF-8",searchCriteria,bUid)
if (imap.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(imap.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using QueryMbx.
# Your application creates a new, empty MessageSet object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

# The following properties are used instead of function arguments.
imap.put_SortCriteria("DATE SUBJECT")
imap.put_SearchCharset("UTF-8")

mset = chilkat.CkMessageSet()
success = imap.QueryMbx(searchCriteria,bUid,mset)
if (success == False):
