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

    imap := chilkat.NewImap()

    // Use TLS
    imap.SetSsl(true)
    imap.SetPort(993)
    success := imap.Connect("MY-IMAP-DOMAIN")
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        return
    }

    // Authenticate
    success = imap.Login("MY-IMAP-LOGIN","MY-IMAP-PASSWORD")
    if success != true {

        imap.DisposeImap()

    // Get the list of capabilities:
    caps := imap.Capability()

    // Chilkat v9.5.0.58 introduces the HasCapability method to

    }

    if imap.HasCapability("IDLE",*caps) == true {

    }

    // Disconnect from the IMAP server.
    success = imap.Disconnect()
