# Connect to an IMAP server.

# The ListMailboxes method returns a Mailboxes object
# that contains the collection of mailboxes.
# It accepts two arguments: a refName and a wildcardedMailbox.

$refName = ""
# refName is usually set to an empty string.
# A non-empty reference name argument is the name of a mailbox or a level of
# mailbox hierarchy, and indicates the context in which the mailbox
# name is interpreted.

# Select all mailboxes matching this pattern:
$wildcardedMailbox = "*"

$mboxes = $imap.ListMailboxes($refName,$wildcardedMailbox)
if ($imap.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($imap.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

$i = 0
while ($i -lt $mboxes.Count) {
    $($mboxes.GetName($i))
    $i = $i + 1
}
