    success := false

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

    imap := chilkat.NewImap()

    // Connect to the iCloud IMAP Mail Server
    imap.SetSsl(true)
    imap.SetPort(993)
    success = imap.Connect("imap.mail.me.com")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        return
    }

    // The username is usually the name part of your iCloud email address 
    // (for example, emilyparker, not emilyparker@icloud.com).
    success = imap.Login("ICLOUD_USERNAME","ICLOUD_PASSWORD")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        return

    // Select an IMAP folder/mailbox
    success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        return
    }

    // 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.

    email := chilkat.NewEmail()
    var i int
    n := imap.NumMessages()
    bUid := false
    for i = 1; i <= n; i++ {

        // Download the email by sequence number.
        success = imap.FetchEmail(false,i,bUid,email)
        if success == false {
            fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
            imap.DisposeImap()
            email.DisposeEmail()
            return

        fmt.Println(i, ": ", email.From())
        fmt.Println("    ", email.Subject())
        fmt.Println("-")
    }

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

    fmt.Println("Success.")

    // Sample output:

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