<?php

// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.php");

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

// Use your previously obtained access token here:

// This example will search /Inbox for a message we want to delete.
// First we need to get the folder ID for /Inbox.
// Then we'll search for messages based on some criteria, and delete the matching messages.

// Get the folder ID for /Inbox from the folder map created by this example
