(C# UWP/WinRT) IMAP Use Existing SSH Tunnel

Demonstrates how to connect to an IMAP server using an existing SSH tunnel. This creates a new channel within the SSH tunnel, which can be a TCP or TLS connection, and is connected to a remote IMAP server through port forwarding.

// Starting in v9.5.0.49, all Chilkat classes can be unlocked at once at the beginning of a program

// Once the channel is obtained, the Socket API may

// Finally, close the SSH tunnel.
