    // If no folder path is provided, the new folder is a sub-mailbox of Inbox.
    success = imap.CreateMailbox("newFolder");

    // (In GMail, folders are called "labels".  
    // 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.
