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

Dim imap As New ChilkatImap

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

' Display the From and Subject
Debug.Print email.FromAddress
Debug.Print email.Subject

' Display the Body property, which is the default body.
' If an email has an HTML body, the Body property contains
' the HTML source.  Otherwise it contains the plain-text
' body.
Debug.Print "---- EMAIL BODY ----"
Debug.Print email.Body
Debug.Print "--------------------"

' Display the recipients:
Dim j As Long
For j = 0 To email.NumTo - 1

Next

' Show the total size of the email, including body and attachments:
Debug.Print email.Size

' When a full email is downloaded, we would use the
' email.NumAttachments property in conjunction with the
' email.GetMailAttach* methods.
' However, when an email object contains only the header,
' we need to access the attachment info differently:
Dim numAttach As Long
numAttach = imap.GetMailNumAttach(email)
Debug.Print numAttach

    Debug.Print imap.GetMailAttachFilename(email,j)
    Dim attachSize As Long

    Debug.Print "    size = " & attachSize & " bytes"
Next

Debug.Print "--"

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