How to Copy IMAP Mail to another IMAP Server

Demonstrates how to copy the entire contents of an IMAP mailbox to another IMAP server. C++

#include <CkImap.h>

void ChilkatSample(void)
    {
    bool success = false;

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

    CkImap imapSrc;

    // Connect to our source IMAP server.
    success = imapSrc.Connect("imap.example.com");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << imapSrc.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";

    }

    // Login to the source IMAP server
    success = imapSrc.Login("admin@chilkatsoft.com","myPassword");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << imapSrc.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    CkImap imapDest;

    // Connect to our destination IMAP server.
    success = imapDest.Connect("mail.example-code.com");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << imapDest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;

    // Login to the destination IMAP server
    success = imapDest.Login("myLogin","myPassword");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << imapDest.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Select an IMAP mailbox on the source IMAP server
    success = imapSrc.SelectMailbox("Inbox");
    if (success == false) {
        std::cout << imapSrc.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // After selecting a mailbox, the NumMessages property will
    // be updated to reflect the total number of emails in the mailbox:
    std::cout << imapSrc.get_NumMessages() << "\r\n";

    // The emails in the mailbox will always have sequence numbers
    // ranging from 1 to NumMessages.

    // This example will copy the first 10 messages using sequence numbers
    CkStringBuilder sbMime;
    int seqNum;
    for (seqNum = 1; seqNum <= 10; seqNum++) {
        sbMime.Clear();

            std::cout << imapSrc.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
            return;

        }

    }

    // Disconnect from the IMAP servers.
    success = imapSrc.Disconnect();
    success = imapDest.Disconnect();
