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

loImap = CreateObject('Chilkat.Imap')

* Connect to the IMAP server.
* Use TLS
loImap.Ssl = 1
loImap.Port = 993
lnSuccess = loImap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Login
lnSuccess = loImap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Select an IMAP mailbox
lnSuccess = loImap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
ENDIF

lnFetchUids = 1
loMessageSet = CreateObject('Chilkat.MessageSet')
lnSuccess = loImap.QueryMbx("ALL",lnFetchUids,loMessageSet)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    RELEASE loMessageSet
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Fetch the email headers into a bundle object:
loBundle = CreateObject('Chilkat.EmailBundle')
lnHeadersOnly = 1
lnSuccess = loImap.FetchMsgSet(lnHeadersOnly,loMessageSet,loBundle)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    RELEASE loMessageSet
    RELEASE loBundle
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Sort the email bundle by date, recipient, sender, or subject:
lnAscending = 1
loBundle.SortByDate(lnAscending)

* To sort by recipient, sender, or subject, call 
* SortBySender, SortByRecipient, or SortBySubject.

* Display the Subject and From of each email.
loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email')
i = 0
DO WHILE i < loBundle.MessageCount
    loBundle.EmailAt(i,loEmail)

    ? loEmail.GetHeaderField("Date")
    ? loEmail.Subject
    ? loEmail.From
    ? "--"

    i = i + 1
ENDDO

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