LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loImap

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

loImap = CreateObject('Chilkat.Imap')

loImap.Ssl = 1
loImap.Port = 993

*  Connect to an IMAP server.
lnSuccess = loImap.Connect("imap.gmail.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

*  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.
lnSuccess = loImap.CreateMailbox("newFolder")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

*  (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.
lnSuccess = loImap.CreateMailbox("newFolder/subFolder_A")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
