IMAP using SOCKS5, SOCKS4 Proxy

Demonstrates how to connect to an IMAP server through a SOCKS5 or SOCKS4 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 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.put_SocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com")
imap.put_SocksPort(1080)
imap.put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin")
imap.put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword")
# Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
# of the SOCKS proxy server:
imap.put_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.put_Ssl(True)
imap.put_Port(993)

# Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")

# Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
# We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
