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

# Connect to an IMAP server.
# Use TLS

    # If an email has an HTML body, the Body property contains
    # the HTML source.  Otherwise it contains the plain-text
    # body.
    print("---- EMAIL BODY ----")

    # When a full email is downloaded, we would use the
    # email.NumAttachments property in conjunction with the
    # email.GetMailAttach* methods.
    # However, when an email object contains only the header,
    # we need to access the attachment info differently:
