Lua Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

IMAP using SOCKS5, SOCKS4 Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect to an IMAP server through a SOCKS5 or SOCKS4 proxy. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

local imap = chilkat.Imap.new()

-- To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
-- properties prior to connecting with the IMAP server:
-- The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or
-- IP address:
imap.socks_hostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
imap.socks_port = 1080
imap.socks_username = "myProxyLogin"
imap.socks_password = "myProxyPassword"
-- Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
-- of the SOCKS proxy server:
imap.socks_version = 5
-- Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
-- SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

-- Connect to an IMAP server through the SOCKS proxy.
-- Use TLS
imap.ssl = true
imap.port = 993
local success = imap:connect("imap.example.com")
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Login
success = imap:login("myLogin", "myPassword")
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap:select_mailbox("Inbox")
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
-- We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
local fetchUids = true
local messageSet = chilkat.MessageSet.new()
success = imap:query_mbx("ALL", fetchUids, messageSet)
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
local bundle = chilkat.EmailBundle.new()
local headersOnly = false
success = imap:fetch_msg_set(headersOnly, messageSet, bundle)
if not success then
    print(imap.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
local email = chilkat.Email.new()
local i = 0
local numEmails = bundle.message_count
while i < numEmails do
    bundle:email_at(i, email)

    print(email.from)
    print(email.subject)
    print("--")
    i = i + 1
end

-- Disconnect from the IMAP server.
success = imap:disconnect()
