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

# This example will search /Inbox for a message we want to delete.
# First we need to get the folder ID for /Inbox.
# Then we'll search for messages based on some criteria, and delete the matching messages.

# Get the folder ID for /Inbox from the folder map created by this example
