Delete IMAP Email

To delete an email, the "Deleted" flag must be set to 1 for each message to be deleted. You must also call Expunge or ExpungeAndClose to remove the emails marked as deleted. C++

#include <CkImap.h>
#include <CkMessageSet.h>

    bool success = false;

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

    // This example deletes email matching a criteria from Inbox.
    CkImap imap;

    // Turn on session logging:
    imap.put_KeepSessionLog(true);

    // Connect to an IMAP server.
    // Use TLS
    imap.put_Ssl(true);
