List the mailboxes available within an IMAP account. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

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

imap = Chilkat::CkImap.new()

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

# Login
success = imap.Login("MY-IMAP-LOGIN","MY-IMAP-PASSWORD")
if (success == false)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

refName = ""
# refName is usually set to an empty string.
# A non-empty reference name argument is the name of a mailbox or a level of
# mailbox hierarchy, and indicates the context in which the mailbox
# name is interpreted.

# Select all mailboxes matching this pattern:
wildcardedMailbox = "*"

subscribed = false

mboxes = Chilkat::CkMailboxes.new()
success = imap.MbxList(subscribed,refName,wildcardedMailbox,mboxes)
if (success == false)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

i = 0
while i < mboxes.get_Count()
    print mboxes.getName(i) + "\n";
    i = i + 1
