imap = chilkat2.Imap()

# To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
# and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
# and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
# HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
imap.HttpProxyHostname = "www.myhttpproxy.com"
imap.HttpProxyPort = 3128

# Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
# traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

# Connect to an IMAP server through the HTTP proxy.
# Use TLS
imap.Ssl = True
imap.Port = 993
success = imap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
if (success != True):
    print(imap.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()
