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

imap = Chilkat::CkImap.new()

# 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)

# Login

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

    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";

# We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
fetchUids = true
# Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
# messageSet is a CkMessageSet
messageSet = imap.Search("ALL",fetchUids)
if (imap.get_LastMethodSuccess() == false)

# Fetch the emails into a bundle object:

# bundle is a CkEmailBundle
