Dim success As Long
success = 0

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

Dim imap As New ChilkatImap

' Connect to an IMAP server.
' Use TLS
imap.Ssl = 1
imap.Port = 993
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com")
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print imap.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Login
success = imap.Login("admin@chilkatsoft.com","myPassword")
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print imap.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Get the list of mailboxes.
Dim refName As String
refName = ""
Dim wildcardedMailbox As String
wildcardedMailbox = "*"
Dim subscribed As Long
subscribed = 0

Dim mboxes As New Mailboxes
success = imap.MbxList(subscribed,refName,wildcardedMailbox,mboxes)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print imap.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

Dim i As Long
i = 0
Do While i < mboxes.Count
    Debug.Print mboxes.GetName(i)
    i = i + 1
Loop

' Sample output looks like this:
' INBOX.vendors.shareit
' INBOX.vendors.paypal
' INBOX.vendors.dell
' INBOX.vendors.inMotion
' INBOX.vendors.myhosting
' INBOX.vendors.peer1

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