Create Email Folder (sub-Mailbox)

How to create a new email folder (sub-mailbox). (In GMail, folders are called "labels". This example would create a new "label" in GMail.) Delphi ActiveX

uses
    Winapi.Windows, Winapi.Messages, System.SysUtils, System.Variants, System.Classes, Vcl.Graphics,
    Vcl.Controls, Vcl.Forms, Vcl.Dialogs, Vcl.StdCtrls, Chilkat_TLB;

procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject);
var
success: Integer;
imap: TChilkatImap;

begin
success := 0;

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

imap := TChilkatImap.Create(Self);

imap.Ssl := 1;
imap.Port := 993;

// Connect to an IMAP server.
success := imap.Connect('imap.gmail.com');
if (success <> 1) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(imap.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

// Login
success := imap.Login('myLogin','myPassword');
if (success <> 1) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(imap.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

// Create the new email folder (sub-mailbox) on the IMAP server.
// If no folder path is provided, the new folder is a sub-mailbox of Inbox.
success := imap.CreateMailbox('newFolder');
if (success <> 1) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(imap.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

// (In GMail, folders are called "labels".  
// This example would create a new "label" in GMail.)

// Now create a sub-folder under "newFolder".
// Make sure to use the proper separator char for your IMAP server.
// The separator char used here is "/".   It is typically "/" or ".".
// The SeparatorChar property contains the separator char
// that should be used for the current IMAP session.
success := imap.CreateMailbox('newFolder/subFolder_A');
if (success <> 1) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(imap.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

Memo1.Lines.Add('Success.');
end;
