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

' Connect to an IMAP server.
' Use TLS
imap.Ssl = True
imap.Port = 993
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Login
success = imap.Login("admin@chilkatsoft.com","myPassword")
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Get the list of mailboxes.
Dim refName As String = ""
Dim wildcardedMailbox As String = "*"
Dim subscribed As Boolean = False

Dim mboxes As New Chilkat.Mailboxes
success = imap.MbxList(subscribed,refName,wildcardedMailbox,mboxes)
If (success = 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

' 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()
