(Go) Secure IMAP over TLS/SSL

To communicate with an IMAP server over TLS/SSL, simply set the Ssl and Port properties. The remainder of your code is the same as with non-SSL.

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

    imap := chilkat.NewImap()

    // To use a secure TLS/SSL connection, set the Ssl property and the port:
    imap.SetSsl(true)
    // The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
    imap.SetPort(993)

    // Connect to an IMAP server.
    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 {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()
        return
    }

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

    // We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
    fetchUids := true
    // Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
    messageSet := imap.Search("ALL",fetchUids)
    if imap.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
        imap.DisposeImap()

    }

    // Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
    bundle := imap.FetchBundle(messageSet)
    if imap.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        messageSet.DisposeMessageSet()
        fmt.Println(imap.LastErrorText())
