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

Chilkat.Imap imap = new Chilkat.Imap();

// Connect to an IMAP server.
// Use TLS
imap.Ssl = true;
imap.Port = 993;
bool success = imap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Login
success = imap.Login("admin@chilkatsoft.com","myPassword");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The ListMailboxes method returns a Mailboxes object
// that contains the collection of mailboxes.
// It accepts two arguments: a refName and a wildcardedMailbox.

// List all mailboxes under INBOX.vendors
string refName = "INBOX.vendors";

// Select all mailboxes matching this pattern:
string wildcardedMailbox = "*";

Chilkat.Mailboxes mboxes = imap.ListMailboxes(refName,wildcardedMailbox);
if (imap.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

int i = 0;
while (i < mboxes.Count) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mboxes.GetName(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();
