import sys
import chilkat2

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

imap = chilkat2.Imap()

# Turn on session logging:
imap.KeepSessionLog = True

# Connect to GMail
# Use TLS
imap.Ssl = True
imap.Port = 993
success = imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com")
if (success != True):
    print(imap.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Login
# Your login is typically your GMail email address.
success = imap.Login("username@gmail.com","myPassword")
if (success != True):
    print(imap.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
if (success != True):
    print(imap.LastErrorText)
    sys.exit()

# Show the session log.
print(imap.SessionLog)

# The session log will look like this:
