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

$imap = New-Object Chilkat.Imap

$imap.Ssl = $true
$imap.Port = 993

# Connect to an IMAP server.
$success = $imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($imap.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Login
$success = $imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($imap.LastErrorText)
    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 -ne $true) {
    $($imap.LastErrorText)
    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 -ne $true) {
    $($imap.LastErrorText)
