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

    imap := chilkat.NewImap()

    // Connect to an IMAP server.
    // Use TLS
    imap.SetSsl(true)
    imap.SetPort(993)
    success := imap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        return
    }

    // Login
    success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
    if success != true {

    // The NumMessages property contains the number of messages in the selected mailbox.
    numToFetch := imap.NumMessages()
    // Download all the email in the Inbox.
    // sa is a StringArray
    sa := imap.FetchSequenceAsMime(1,numToFetch)
    if imap.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())

    // Loop over the MIME strings contained within sa:
    i := 0
    for i < sa.Count() {
        var strMime *string = new(string)
        strMime = sa.GetString(i)

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

        i = i + 1
    }

    sa.DisposeStringArray()

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