// This example requires 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);

    // The security layers of signed and/or encrypted emails
    // are automatically "unwrapped" when loaded into
    // a Chilkat email object.
    // An application only needs to check to see if an email
    // was received signed or encrypted, and then examine
    // the success/failure.  For example:
    if (email.ReceivedSigned == true) {

        Debug.WriteLine("This email was signed.");

        // Check to see if the signatures were verified.
        if (email.SignaturesValid == true) {
            Debug.WriteLine("Digital signature(s) verified.");

            Debug.WriteLine("Signer: " + email.SignedBy);

            // The certificate used for signing may be obtained
            // by calling email.GetSignedByCert.
            Chilkat.Cert cert = email.GetSignedByCert();
            if (email.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
                Debug.WriteLine("Failed to get signing certificate object.");
