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

# This example will copy /Inbox/abc/subFolderA and its contents to /Inbox/xyz
# We'll need the folder ids for both source and destination folders..

# Get the folder IDs from the folder map created by this example
