Create Email Folder (sub-Mailbox)

How to create a new email folder (sub-mailbox). (In GMail, folders are called "labels". This example would create a new "label" in GMail.) Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

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

$imap = chilkat::CkImap->new();

$imap->put_Ssl(1);
$imap->put_Port(993);

# Connect to an IMAP server.
$success = $imap->Connect("imap.gmail.com");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Login
$success = $imap->Login("myLogin","myPassword");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Create the new email folder (sub-mailbox) on the IMAP server.
# If no folder path is provided, the new folder is a sub-mailbox of Inbox.
$success = $imap->CreateMailbox("newFolder");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# (In GMail, folders are called "labels".  
# This example would create a new "label" in GMail.)

# Now create a sub-folder under "newFolder".
# Make sure to use the proper separator char for your IMAP server.
# The separator char used here is "/".   It is typically "/" or ".".
# The SeparatorChar property contains the separator char
# that should be used for the current IMAP session.
$success = $imap->CreateMailbox("newFolder/subFolder_A");
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

print "Success." . "\r\n";
