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.) Android™

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

import android.app.Activity;

import android.widget.TextView;

public class SimpleActivity extends Activity {

  private static final String TAG = "Chilkat";

  // Called when the activity is first created.
  @Override
  public void onCreate(Bundle savedInstanceState) {
    super.onCreate(savedInstanceState);

    boolean success = false;

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

    CkImap imap = new CkImap();

    imap.put_Ssl(true);
    imap.put_Port(993);

    // Connect to an IMAP server.
    success = imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com");
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, imap.lastErrorText());
        return;
        }

    // Login
    success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword");
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, 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("newFolder");
    if (success != true) {
        Log.i(TAG, 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("newFolder/subFolder_A");
    if (success != true) {
