* This example assumes Chilkat Imap to have been previously unlocked.
* See Unlock Imap for sample code.

* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.Imap')
loImap = CreateObject('Chilkat.Imap')

* Connect to the iCloud IMAP Mail Server
loImap.Ssl = 1
loImap.Port = 993
lnSuccess = loImap.Connect("imap.mail.me.com")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The username is usually the name part of your iCloud email address 
* (for example, emilyparker, not emilyparker@icloud.com).
lnSuccess = loImap.Login("ICLOUD_USERNAME","ICLOUD_PASSWORD")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

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

* Once the folder/mailbox is selected, the NumMessages property
* will contain the number of emails in the mailbox.
* Loop from 1 to NumMessages to fetch each email by sequence number.

n = loImap.NumMessages
lnBUid = 0
FOR i = 1 TO n

    * Download the email by sequence number.
    loEmail = loImap.FetchSingle(i,lnBUid)
    IF (loImap.LastMethodSuccess <> 1) THEN
        ? loImap.LastErrorText
        RELEASE loImap
        CANCEL
    ENDIF

    ? STR(i) + ": " + loEmail.From
    ? "    " + loEmail.Subject
    ? "-"

    RELEASE loEmail
NEXT

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

? "Success."

* Sample output:

* 	1: iCloud <noreply@email.apple.com>
* 	    Welcome to iCloud Mail.
* 	-
* 	2: "Chilkat Software" <support@chilkatsoft.com>
* 	    This is a test
* 	-
* 	Success.
