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

Dim imap As New Chilkat.Imap

' Connect to an IMAP server.
' Use TLS
imap.Ssl = True
imap.Port = 993
Dim success As Boolean = imap.Connect("MY-IMAP-DOMAIN")
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub

' Login

' 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 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 = "*"

Dim mboxes As Chilkat.Mailboxes = imap.ListMailboxes(refName,wildcardedMailbox)
If (imap.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim i As Integer = 0
While i < mboxes.Count
    Debug.WriteLine(mboxes.GetName(i))
    i = i + 1
End While
