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

  const imap = new Imap();

  // Connect to the IMAP server.
  // Use TLS

  // SortBySender, SortByRecipient, or SortBySubject.

  // Display the Subject and From of each email.
