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

Chilkat.Imap imap = new Chilkat.Imap();

// Connect to an IMAP server.
// Use TLS
imap.Ssl = true;
imap.Port = 993;
bool success = await imap.ConnectAsync("imap.someMailServer.com");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Login
success = await imap.LoginAsync("myLogin","myPassword");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Select an IMAP mailbox
success = await imap.SelectMailboxAsync("Inbox");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The NumMessages property contains the number of messages in the selected mailbox.
int numToFetch = imap.NumMessages;
// Download all the email in the Inbox.
Chilkat.StringArray sa = null;
sa = await imap.FetchSequenceAsMimeAsync(1,numToFetch);
if (imap.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Loop over the MIME strings contained within sa:
int i = 0;
while (i < sa.Count) {
    string strMime;
    strMime = sa.GetString(i);

    // Now you have the MIME source of this email...  

    i = i + 1;
}

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
success = await imap.DisconnectAsync();
