# 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
imap.put_Ssl(true)
imap.put_Port(993)

if (success != true)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";

# Select an IMAP mailbox

# We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.

# messageSet is a CkMessageSet

    # The security layers of signed and/or encrypted emails
    # are automatically "unwrapped" when loaded into
    # a Chilkat email object.
    # An application only needs to check to see if an email
    # was received signed or encrypted, and then examine
    # the success/failure.  For example:
    if (email.get_ReceivedSigned() == true)

        print "This email was signed." + "\n";

        # Check to see if the signatures were verified.
        if (email.get_SignaturesValid() == true)
            print "Digital signature(s) verified." + "\n";

            print "Signer: " + email.signedBy() + "\n";

            # The certificate used for signing may be obtained
            # by calling email.GetSignedByCert.
            # cert is a CkCert
            cert = email.GetSignedByCert()
            if (email.get_LastMethodSuccess() != true)
                print "Failed to get signing certificate object." + "\n";
            else
                print "Signing cert: " + cert.subjectCN() + "\n";

            end

        else
            print "Digital signature verification failed." + "\n";
