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

CkoImap *imap = [[CkoImap alloc] init];

// Connect to an IMAP server.
// Use TLS
imap.Ssl = YES;
imap.Port = [NSNumber numberWithInt:993];
BOOL success = [imap Connect: @"imap.someMailServer.com"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Login
success = [imap Login: @"admin@chilkatsoft.com" password: @"myPassword"];
if (success != YES) {
    NSLog(@"%@",imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// The ListMailboxes method returns a Mailboxes object
// that contains the collection of mailboxes.
// It accepts two arguments: a refName and a wildcardedMailbox.

// List all mailboxes under INBOX.vendors
NSString *refName = @"INBOX.vendors";

// Select all mailboxes matching this pattern:
NSString *wildcardedMailbox = @"*";

CkoMailboxes *mboxes = [imap ListMailboxes: refName wildcardedMailbox: wildcardedMailbox];
if (imap.LastMethodSuccess == NO) {
    NSLog(@"%@",imap.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

int i = 0;
while (i < [mboxes.Count intValue]) {
    NSLog(@"%@",[mboxes GetName: [NSNumber numberWithInt: i]]);
    i = i + 1;
}

// Sample output looks like this:
// INBOX.vendors.shareit
// INBOX.vendors.paypal
// INBOX.vendors.dell
// INBOX.vendors.inMotion
// INBOX.vendors.myhosting
// INBOX.vendors.peer1

// Disconnect from the IMAP server.
success = [imap Disconnect];
