loImap = CreateObject('Chilkat.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

    RELEASE loMessageSet
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loImap
    CANCEL
