List IMAP Mailboxes with Reference

Demonstrates how to list all sub-mailboxes within a specified context. In this case, we list all mailboxes under "INBOX.vendors". 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()!

    // Connect to an IMAP server.
    // Use TLS
    imap.ssl = true
    imap.port = 993
    success = imap.connect(hostname: "imap.example.com")
    if success == false {
        print("\(imap.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Login
    success = imap.login(login: "admin@chilkatsoft.com", password: "myPassword")
    if success == false {
        print("\(imap.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Get the list of mailboxes.
    var refName: String? = ""
    var wildcardedMailbox: String? = "*"
    var subscribed: Bool = false

    let mboxes = CkoMailboxes()!
    success = imap.mbxList(subscribed: subscribed, reference: refName, mbxPattern: wildcardedMailbox, mboxes: mboxes)
    if success == false {
        print("\(imap.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    var i: Int = 0
    while i < mboxes.count.intValue {
        print("\(mboxes.getName(index: i)!)")
        i = i + 1
    }

    // Sample output looks like this:
    // INBOX.vendors.shareit
    // INBOX.vendors.paypal
    // INBOX.vendors.dell
    // INBOX.vendors.inMotion
    // INBOX.vendors.myhosting
    // INBOX.vendors.peer1

    // Disconnect from the IMAP server.
    success = imap.disconnect()
