<?php

include("chilkat.php");

$success = false;

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

$imapSrc = new CkImap();

// Connect to our source IMAP server.
$success = $imapSrc->Connect('imap.example.com');
if ($success == false) {
    print $imapSrc->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Login to the source IMAP server
$success = $imapSrc->Login('admin@chilkatsoft.com','myPassword');
if ($success == false) {
    print $imapSrc->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

$imapDest = new CkImap();

// Connect to our destination IMAP server.
$success = $imapDest->Connect('mail.example-code.com');
if ($success == false) {
    print $imapDest->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Login to the destination IMAP server
$success = $imapDest->Login('myLogin','myPassword');
if ($success == false) {
    print $imapDest->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Select an IMAP mailbox on the source IMAP server
$success = $imapSrc->SelectMailbox('Inbox');
if ($success == false) {
    print $imapSrc->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

// After selecting a mailbox, the NumMessages property will
// be updated to reflect the total number of emails in the mailbox:
print $imapSrc->get_NumMessages() . "\n";

// The emails in the mailbox will always have sequence numbers
// ranging from 1 to NumMessages.

// This example will copy the first 10 messages using sequence numbers
$sbMime = new CkStringBuilder();

for ($seqNum = 1; $seqNum <= 10; $seqNum++) {
    $sbMime->Clear();
    $success = $imapSrc->FetchSingleAsMimeSb($seqNum,false,$sbMime);
    if ($success == false) {
        print $imapSrc->lastErrorText() . "\n";
        exit;
    }

    $success = $imapDest->AppendMimeWithFlagsSb('Inbox',$sbMime,false,false,false,false);
    if ($success == false) {
        print $imapDest->lastErrorText() . "\n";
