// This example assumes Chilkat Imap to have been previously unlocked.
// See Unlock Imap for sample code.

loImap = createobject("CkImap")

// Connect to the iCloud IMAP Mail Server
loImap.Ssl = .T.
loImap.Port = 993
llSuccess = loImap.Connect("imap.mail.me.com")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    release loImap

// The username is usually the name part of your iCloud email address 
// (for example, emilyparker, not emilyparker@icloud.com).
llSuccess = loImap.Login("ICLOUD_USERNAME","ICLOUD_PASSWORD")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    release loImap

// Select an IMAP folder/mailbox
llSuccess = loImap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    release loImap

// 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.

n = loImap.NumMessages

    // Download the email by sequence number.
    loEmail = loImap.FetchSingle(i,llBUid)

    ? "    " + loEmail.Subject
    ? "-"

    release loEmail

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.

? "Success."

// Sample output:

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