// This example assumes 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 = imap.Connect("MY-IMAP-DOMAIN");
if (success != true) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);

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

string refName = "";
// refName is usually set to an empty string.
// A non-empty reference name argument is the name of a mailbox or a level of
// mailbox hierarchy, and indicates the context in which the mailbox
// name is interpreted.

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

Chilkat.Mailboxes mboxes = imap.ListMailboxes(refName,wildcardedMailbox);
if (imap.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

int i = 0;
while (i < mboxes.Count) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mboxes.GetName(i));
    i = i + 1;
}

// INBOX.vendors.shareit
