// The ListMailboxes method returns a Mailboxes object
// that contains the collection of mailboxes.
// It accepts two arguments: a refName and a wildcardedMailbox.

// List all mailboxes under INBOX.vendors
refName := 'INBOX.vendors';

// Select all mailboxes matching this pattern:
wildcardedMailbox := '*';

mboxes := imap.ListMailboxes(refName,wildcardedMailbox);
if (imap.LastMethodSuccess = 0) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(imap.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

i := 0;
while i < mboxes.Count do
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(mboxes.GetName(i));
    i := i + 1;
  end;

// Sample output looks like this:
// INBOX.vendors.shareit
// INBOX.vendors.paypal
// INBOX.vendors.dell
// INBOX.vendors.inMotion
// INBOX.vendors.myhosting
// INBOX.vendors.peer1

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
