IMAP using HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect to an IMAP server through an HTTP proxy. 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()

# To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
# and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
# and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
# HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
imap.put_HttpProxyHostname("www.myhttpproxy.com")
imap.put_HttpProxyPort(3128)

# Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
# traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

# Connect to an IMAP server through the HTTP proxy.
# Use TLS
imap.put_Ssl(True)
imap.put_Port(993)
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com")
if (success != True):
    print(imap.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()
