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

    CkImap imap;

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

    //  Connect to GMail
    //  Use TLS
    imap.put_Ssl(true);
    imap.put_Port(993);
    success = imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << imap.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";

    //  Login
    //  Your login is typically your GMail email address.
    success = imap.Login("username@gmail.com","myPassword");
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << imap.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
