LOCAL loImap
LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL lnNumToFetch
LOCAL loSa
LOCAL i
LOCAL lcStrMime

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

loImap = CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Imap')

* Connect to an IMAP server.
* Use TLS
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

* The NumMessages property contains the number of messages in the selected mailbox.
lnNumToFetch = loImap.NumMessages
* Download all the email in the Inbox.

loSa = loImap.FetchSequenceAsMime(1,lnNumToFetch)
IF (loImap.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Loop over the MIME strings contained within sa:
i = 0
DO WHILE i < loSa.Count

    lcStrMime = loSa.GetString(i)

    * Now you have the MIME source of this email...  

    i = i + 1
ENDDO

RELEASE loSa

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

RELEASE loImap
