Perl Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

IMAP STARTTLS (Explicit TLS/SSL)

The StartTls property is set to force the Connect method to automatically convert an connection to TLS/SSL via the STARTTLS IMAP command.

This is also known as "explicit TLS/SSL" as opposed to "implicit TLS/SSL". With implicit TLS/SSL, the IMAP client connects on the well-known IMAP TLS/SSL port 993 and the secure channel is immediately established. With explicit TLS/SSL, the IMAP client connects on the typical non-secure port (143 usually) and the converts the connection via the STARTTLS command.

Perl

$success = 0;

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

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

#  Indicate that STARTTLS should be used to convert
#  to a secure TLS/SSL connection:
$imap->put_StartTls(1);
$imap->put_Port(143);

#  Connect to an IMAP server and convert the connection
#  to TLS/SSL via STARTTLS.
$success = $imap->Connect("imap.example.com");
if ($success == 0) {
    print $imap->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

#  The remainder of this example is the same as for 
#  non-TLS/SSL...
