Creates a new mail folder as a child of an existing mail folder. Swift

func chilkatTest() {
    var success: Bool = false

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

    let http = CkoHttp()!

    // Use your previously obtained access token here:
    http.authToken = "MICROSOFT_GRAPH_ACCESS_TOKEN"

    // This example will create a new mail folder as a child of /Inbox/abc

    // Get the existing folder ID from the folder map created by this example

    if htFolderMap.lastMethodSuccess != true {
        print("Folder ID not found")

    }

    // Create a JSON request body with this content:
    // 
    // 	{

    // This example will create /Inbox/abc/subFolderC
