(VB.NET UWP/WinRT) IMAP Download and Verify Signed MIME

Downloads the unmodified MIME of a digitally signed email, saves the .p7s signature (and other MIME parts), then loads the email into a Chilkat email object (which unwraps the S/MIME and verifies the signature) and then saves attachments (if the MIME parts were not already saved).
