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

    // Use TLS
    imap.ssl = true

    // If the capabilities string contains the substring "UIDPLUS", then 
    // the UID of the appended email will be available in the AppendUid property (see below).

    // If the IMAP server does NOT have UIDPLUS, then a program can

    // and then append.  The appended email SHOULD have a UID equal to 
    // the UidNext that was obtained just prior to appending (assuming no other
    // program is simultaneously appending an email to the same mailbox).

    // done for the purpose of obtaining the UIDNEXT value.
