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

' For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject("Chilkat_9_5_0.Imap")
set imap = CreateObject("Chilkat.Imap")

' Connect to an IMAP server.
' Use TLS
imap.Ssl = 1
imap.Port = 993
success = imap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' The NumMessages property contains the number of messages in the selected mailbox.
numToFetch = imap.NumMessages
' Download all the email in the Inbox.

' sa is a Chilkat.StringArray
Set sa = imap.FetchSequenceAsMime(1,numToFetch)
If (imap.LastMethodSuccess = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Loop over the MIME strings contained within sa:
i = 0
Do While i < sa.Count

    strMime = sa.GetString(i)

    ' Now you have the MIME source of this email...  

    i = i + 1
Loop

' Disconnect from the IMAP server.
success = imap.Disconnect()
