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

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Imap')
$imap = new COM("Chilkat.Imap");

// Turn on session logging:
$imap->KeepSessionLog = 1;

// Connect to GMail
// Use TLS
$imap->Ssl = 1;
$imap->Port = 993;
$success = $imap->Connect('imap.gmail.com');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Login
// Your login is typically your GMail email address.
$success = $imap->Login('username@gmail.com','myPassword');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Select an IMAP mailbox
$success = $imap->SelectMailbox('Inbox');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $imap->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Show the session log.
print $imap->SessionLog . "\n";
