Demonstrates how to connect to an IMAP server through an HTTP proxy. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

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

Dim imap As New Chilkat.Imap

' 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 = True
imap.Port = 993
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
