Dim threadAlg As String = "REFERENCES"
Dim charset As String = "UTF-8"
Dim searchCriteria As String = "SUBJECT a"
Dim bUid As Boolean = True

' ------------------------------------------------------------------------
' The ThreadCmd method is deprecated:

Dim jsonObj As Chilkat.JsonObject = imap.ThreadCmd(threadAlg,charset,searchCriteria,bUid)
If (imap.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If

' Do the equivalent using QueryThread.
' Your application creates a new, empty JsonObject object which is passed 
' in the last argument and filled upon success.

imap.SearchCharset = "UTF-8"

Dim json As New Chilkat.JsonObject
Dim success As Boolean = imap.QueryThread(threadAlg,searchCriteria,bUid,json)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
