Dim imap As New ChilkatImap

' To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
' and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
' and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
' HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
imap.HttpProxyHostname = "www.myhttpproxy.com"
imap.HttpProxyPort = 3128

' Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
' traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

' Connect to an IMAP server through the HTTP proxy.
' Use TLS
imap.Ssl = 1
imap.Port = 993
Dim success As Long
success = imap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Debug.Print imap.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If
