Visual Basic 6.0 Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

Secure IMAP over TLS/SSL

To communicate with an IMAP server over TLS/SSL, simply set the Ssl and Port properties. The remainder of your code is the same as with non-SSL. Visual Basic 6.0

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

'  To use a secure TLS/SSL connection, set the Ssl property and the port:
imap.Ssl = 1
'  The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
imap.Port = 993

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

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

'  Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print imap.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
Dim fetchUids As Long
fetchUids = 1
Dim messageSet As New MessageSet
success = imap.QueryMbx("ALL",fetchUids,messageSet)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print imap.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
Dim bundle As New ChilkatEmailBundle
Dim headersOnly As Long
headersOnly = 0
success = imap.FetchMsgSet(headersOnly,messageSet,bundle)
If (success = 0) Then
    Debug.Print imap.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

'  Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
Dim email As New ChilkatEmail
Dim i As Long
i = 0
Dim numEmails As Long
numEmails = bundle.MessageCount
Do While i < numEmails
    success = bundle.EmailAt(i,email)

    Debug.Print email.From
    Debug.Print email.Subject
    Debug.Print "--"
    i = i + 1
Loop

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