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

Dim imap As New Chilkat.Imap

// Connect to an IMAP server.
// Use TLS
imap.Ssl = True
imap.Port = 993
Dim success As Boolean
success = imap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(imap.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(imap.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(imap.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// The NumMessages property contains the number of messages in the selected mailbox.
Dim numToFetch As Int32
numToFetch = imap.NumMessages
// Download all the email in the Inbox.
Dim sa As Chilkat.StringArray
sa = imap.FetchSequenceAsMime(1,numToFetch)
If (imap.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(imap.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Loop over the MIME strings contained within sa:
Dim i As Int32
i = 0
While i < sa.Count
    Dim strMime As String
    strMime = sa.GetString(i)

    // Now you have the MIME source of this email...  

    i = i + 1
Wend

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
success = imap.Disconnect()
