Create Email Folder (sub-Mailbox)

How to create a new email folder (sub-mailbox). (In GMail, folders are called "labels". This example would create a new "label" in GMail.) Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let imap = CkoImap()!

    imap.ssl = true
    imap.port = 993

    // Connect to an IMAP server.
    success = imap.connect(hostname: "imap.gmail.com")
    if success != true {
        print("\(imap.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Login
    success = imap.login(login: "myLogin", password: "myPassword")
    if success != true {
        print("\(imap.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Create the new email folder (sub-mailbox) on the IMAP server.
    // If no folder path is provided, the new folder is a sub-mailbox of Inbox.
    success = imap.createMailbox(mailbox: "newFolder")
    if success != true {
        print("\(imap.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // (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.
    success = imap.createMailbox(mailbox: "newFolder/subFolder_A")
    if success != true {
        print("\(imap.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    print("Success.")
