    // Chilkat v9.5.0.58 introduces the HasCapability method to
    // check to see if a particular capability exists:
    if imap.HasCapability("QUOTA", capabilityResponse: caps) == true {

    }

    if imap.HasCapability("IDLE", capabilityResponse: caps) == true {
        print("IMAP server supports IDLE.")
    }

    // Disconnect from the IMAP server.
    success = imap.Disconnect()
