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

' See Get Yahoo Mail OAuth2 Access Token for Desktop App 
' for sample code showing how to obtain a Yahoo Mail access token.

' In this example, our access token was previously saved to the following file which contains JSON like this:
' {
'   "access_token": "kCVQdnOdul...LHucA--",
'   "refresh_token": "AIenVXETSo0jklFBVkPS8vVm8E.Ej9ToRG.xDbDYmZ65WIs5t6CZhDrD",
'   "expires_in": 3600,
'   "token_type": "bearer",
'   "xoauth_yahoo_guid": "HGDQCVF5JB4YDOWHITQJFBHCWA"
' }

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

Dim refName As String
refName = ""
' refName is usually set to an empty string.
' A non-empty reference name argument is the name of a mailbox or a level of
' mailbox hierarchy, and indicates the context in which the mailbox
' name is interpreted.

' 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)

' Sample output looks like this:

' Archive
' Bulk Mail
' Draft
' Inbox
' Inbox/emailsWithAttach
' Inbox/test
' Sent
