Create Email Folder (sub-Mailbox)

How to create a new email folder (sub-mailbox). (In GMail, folders are called "labels". This example would create a new "label" in GMail.) CkPython

import sys
import chilkat

success = False

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

imap = chilkat.CkImap()

imap.put_Ssl(True)
imap.put_Port(993)

# Connect to an IMAP server.
success = imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com")
if (success != True):
    print(imap.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
if (success != True):
    print(imap.lastErrorText())
    sys.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 != True):
    print(imap.lastErrorText())
    sys.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 != True):
    print(imap.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

print("Success.")
