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

$imap = New-Object Chilkat.Imap

# To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
# properties prior to connecting with the IMAP server:
# The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
# IP address:
$imap.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
$imap.SocksPort = 1080
$imap.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
$imap.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"
# Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
# of the SOCKS proxy server:
$imap.SocksVersion = 5
# Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
# SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

# Connect to an IMAP server through the SOCKS proxy.
# Use TLS
$imap.Ssl = $true
$imap.Port = 993
$success = $imap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($imap.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

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

# Select an IMAP mailbox
$success = $imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($imap.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
$fetchUids = $true
# Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
$messageSet = $imap.Search("ALL",$fetchUids)
if ($imap.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {
    $($imap.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Fetch the emails into a bundle object:

$bundle = $imap.FetchBundle($messageSet)
if ($imap.LastMethodSuccess -eq $false) {

    $($imap.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
$i = 0

while ($i -lt $numEmails) {
    $email = $bundle.GetEmail($i)
    $($email.From)

    $("--")

    $i = $i + 1
}

# Disconnect from the IMAP server.
$success = $imap.Disconnect()
