// This example assumes Chilkat Imap to have been previously unlocked.
// See Unlock Imap for sample code.

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

// Connect to the iCloud IMAP Mail Server
imap.Ssl = true;
imap.Port = 993;
bool success = await imap.ConnectAsync("imap.mail.me.com");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The username is usually the name part of your iCloud email address 
// (for example, emilyparker, not emilyparker@icloud.com).
success = await imap.LoginAsync("ICLOUD_USERNAME","ICLOUD_PASSWORD");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

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

// Once the folder/mailbox is selected, the NumMessages property
// will contain the number of emails in the mailbox.
// Loop from 1 to NumMessages to fetch each email by sequence number.

Chilkat.Email email = null;
int i;
int n = imap.NumMessages;
bool bUid = false;
for (i = 1; i <= n; i++) {

    // Download the email by sequence number.
    email = await imap.FetchSingleAsync(i,bUid);
    if (imap.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
        Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    Debug.WriteLine(Convert.ToString(i) + ": " + email.From);
    Debug.WriteLine("    " + email.Subject);
    Debug.WriteLine("-");

}

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

Debug.WriteLine("Success.");

// Sample output:

// 	1: iCloud <noreply@email.apple.com>
// 	    Welcome to iCloud Mail.
// 	-
// 	2: "Chilkat Software" <support@chilkatsoft.com>
// 	    This is a test
// 	-
// 	Success.
