Dim imap As New ChilkatImap

' Connect to an IMAP server.
' 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

' Login
success = imap.Login("admin@chilkatsoft.com","myPassword")
If (success <> 1) Then
    Debug.Print imap.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' The ListMailboxes method returns a Mailboxes object
' that contains the collection of mailboxes.
' It accepts two arguments: a refName and a wildcardedMailbox.

' List all mailboxes under INBOX.vendors
Dim refName As String
refName = "INBOX.vendors"

' Select all mailboxes matching this pattern:
Dim wildcardedMailbox As String
wildcardedMailbox = "*"

Dim mboxes As Mailboxes
Set mboxes = imap.ListMailboxes(refName,wildcardedMailbox)
If (imap.LastMethodSuccess = 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()
