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

#  See Get Yahoo Mail OAuth2 Access Token for Desktop App 
#  for sample code showing how to obtain a Yahoo Mail access token.

#  In this example, our access token was previously saved to the following file which contains JSON like this:
#  {
#    "access_token": "kCVQdnOdul...LHucA--",
#    "refresh_token": "AIenVXETSo0jklFBVkPS8vVm8E.Ej9ToRG.xDbDYmZ65WIs5t6CZhDrD",
#    "expires_in": 3600,
#    "token_type": "bearer",
#    "xoauth_yahoo_guid": "HGDQCVF5JB4YDOWHITQJFBHCWA"
#  }

json = Chilkat::CkJsonObject.new()
success = json.LoadFile("qa_data/tokens/yahooMail.json")
if (success != true)
    print "Failed to load Yahoo Mail access token file." + "\n";
    exit
end

accessToken = json.stringOf("access_token")

#  Do OAuth2 authentication by using the access token as the password in the Login method below...
imap = Chilkat::CkImap.new()

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

#  Connect to the Yahoo IMAP server.
success = imap.Connect("imap.mail.yahoo.com")
if (success == false)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

#  Indicate that XOAUTH2 authentication is to be used:
imap.put_AuthMethod("XOAUTH2")

#  Login
#  Use the email address of the Yahoo Mail account that granted authorization.
success = imap.Login("user@yahoo.com",accessToken)
if (success != true)
    print imap.lastErrorText() + "\n";
else
    print "Successfully authenticated with Yahoo IMAP using XOAUTH2!" + "\n";
end

#  Get the list of mailboxes.
refName = ""
wildcardedMailbox = "*"
subscribed = false

mboxes = Chilkat::CkMailboxes.new()
success = imap.MbxList(subscribed,refName,wildcardedMailbox,mboxes)
if (success == false)

    exit
end

i = 0
while i < mboxes.get_Count()
    print mboxes.getName(i) + "\n";
    i = i + 1
end

#  Sample output looks like this:

#  Archive
#  Bulk Mail
#  Draft
#  Inbox
#  Inbox/emailsWithAttach
#  Inbox/test
#  Sent
#  Trash

#  Disconnect from the IMAP server.
