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

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

let imap = chilkat::Imap::new();

imap.set_ssl(true);
imap.set_port(993);

// Connect to an IMAP server.
if imap.connect("imap.gmail.com").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Login
if imap.login("myLogin", "myPassword").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// 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.
if imap.create_mailbox("newFolder").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// (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.
if imap.create_mailbox("newFolder/subFolder_A").is_err() {
    println!("{}", imap.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("Success.");
