imap = Chilkat::CkImap.new()

# Connect to an IMAP server.
# Use TLS
imap.put_Ssl(true)
imap.put_Port(993)
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com")
if (success == false)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
if (success == false)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
if (success == false)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

# The NumMessages property contains the number of messages in the selected mailbox.
numMessages = imap.get_NumMessages()
if (numMessages == 0)
    print "No messages exist in the Inbox." + "\n";
    exit
end

sbMime = Chilkat::CkStringBuilder.new()

for seqNum in 1 .. numMessages
