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

* Read the 1st (most recent) email in an Inbox.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Imap')
loImap = CreateObject('Chilkat.Imap')

* Connect to an IMAP server.
loImap.Ssl = 1
loImap.Port = 993
lnSuccess = loImap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Login
lnSuccess = loImap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Select an IMAP mailbox
lnSuccess = loImap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

lnNumEmails = loImap.NumMessages

* Fetch the email at the last sequence number.
* (We are assuming the Inbox has at least 1 email)
loEmail = loImap.FetchSingle(lnNumEmails,0)
IF (loImap.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Disconnect from the IMAP server.
loImap.Disconnect()

? loEmail.Subject

loEForward = loEmail.CreateForward()

* The eForward email has no To or CC recipients yet.
* Add one or more..
loEForward.AddTo("Chilkat Support","support@chilkatsoft.com")

* We also need to specify the From name/address.
loEForward.FromAddress = "matt@someMailServer.com"
loEForward.FromName = "Matt"

* If we wish to add text at the start of the email body:
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbHtmlBody = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
IF (loEForward.HasHtmlBody() = 1) THEN
    loSbHtmlBody.Append(loEForward.GetHtmlBody())
    loSbHtmlBody.Prepend("<p>Hello, this is an email I'm forwarding to you...</p>")
    loEForward.SetHtmlBody(loSbHtmlBody.GetAsString())
ENDIF

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.StringBuilder')
loSbPtBody = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringBuilder')
IF (loEForward.HasPlainTextBody() = 1) THEN
    loSbPtBody.Append(loEForward.GetPlainTextBody())
    loSbPtBody.Prepend("Hello, this is an email I'm forwarding to you..." + CHR(13) + CHR(10) + CHR(13) + CHR(10))
    loEForward.SetTextBody(loSbPtBody.GetAsString(),"text/plain")
ENDIF

* We could save the .eml, then double-click on it to view in our mail program, such as Outlook or Thunderbird..
loEForward.SaveEml("qa_output/forward.eml")

* We could send (forward) the email..
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.MailMan')
loMailman = CreateObject('Chilkat.MailMan')
