Using Client Certificate w/ IMAP SSL

Demonstrates how to use a client-side certificate with an IMAP SSL connection. The SetSslClientCert method is called to specify a certificate to be used for the SSL connection. Node.js

    var success = false;

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

    var imap = new chilkat.Imap();

    // To use a secure SSL connection, set SSL and the port:
    imap.Ssl = true;
    // The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
    imap.Port = 993;

    // Load a certificate from a PFX file and use it.
    // Note: Other methods are available to load pre-installed
    // certificates from registry-based certificate stores.

    // Create an instance of a certificate store object, load a PFX file,
    // locate the certificate we need, and use it for signing.
    // (a PFX file may contain more than one certificate.)
    var certStore = new chilkat.CertStore();
    // The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
    // PFX file's password:
    success = certStore.LoadPfxFile("myCertWithPrivateKey.pfx","secret");
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(certStore.LastErrorText);
        return;

    // Find the certificate by the subject common name:
    var jsonCN = new chilkat.JsonObject();
    jsonCN.UpdateString("CN","cert common name");

    var cert = new chilkat.Cert();

        return;
    }

    // If a PFX file is known to contain a single certificate,
    // you may load it directly into a Chilkat certificate object.
    // This snippet of source code shows how:
    var cert2 = new chilkat.Cert();
    // The 1st argument is the filename, the 2nd arg is the 
    // PFX file's password:
    success = cert2.LoadPfxFile("myClientCert.pfx","secret");
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(cert.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Use the cert:
    success = imap.SetSslClientCert(cert);

    // Connect to an IMAP server.
    success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com");
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Login
    success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword");

    if (success == false) {
        console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
    var bundle = new chilkat.EmailBundle();
    var headersOnly = false;
    success = imap.FetchMsgSet(headersOnly,messageSet,bundle);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(imap.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
    var email = new chilkat.Email();
    var i = 0;
    var numEmails = bundle.MessageCount;
    while (i < numEmails) {
        bundle.EmailAt(i,email);
