Dim searchCriteria As String = "FROM bob@example.com"
Dim bUid As Boolean = True
Dim sortCriteria As String = "DATE SUBJECT"

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The Sort method is deprecated:

Dim msgSetObj As Chilkat.MessageSet = imap.Sort(sortCriteria,"utf-8",searchCriteria,bUid)
If (imap.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' 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.SortCriteria = "DATE SUBJECT"
imap.SearchCharset = "utf-8"

Dim mset As New Chilkat.MessageSet
Dim success As Boolean = imap.QueryMbx(searchCriteria,bUid,mset)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If
