    //  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.
    success = imap.CreateMailbox(L"newFolder/subFolder_A");
    if (success != true) {
        wprintf(L"%s\n",imap.lastErrorText());
