(Lianja) 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.

loImap = createobject("CkImap")

// To use a secure TLS/SSL connection, set the Ssl property and the port:
loImap.Ssl = .T.
// The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
loImap.Port = 993

// Connect to an IMAP server.
llSuccess = loImap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    release loImap
    return
endif

// Login
llSuccess = loImap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
if (llSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    release loImap
    return
endif

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

// We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
llFetchUids = .T.
// Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
loMessageSet = loImap.Search("ALL",llFetchUids)
if (loImap.LastMethodSuccess = .F.) then
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    release loImap
    return
endif

// Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
loBundle = loImap.FetchBundle(loMessageSet)
if (loImap.LastMethodSuccess = .F.) then
    release loMessageSet
    ? loImap.LastErrorText
    release loImap
    return

    loEmail = loBundle.GetEmail(i)
    ? loEmail.From
    ? loEmail.Subject
    ? "--"
    release loEmail

enddo

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
