Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
'Create a Unicode (utf-16) output text file.

' 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")

' Turn on session logging:
imap.KeepSessionLog = 1

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

' Login
' Your login is typically your GMail email address.
success = imap.Login("username@gmail.com","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

' Show the session log.
outFile.WriteLine(imap.SessionLog)

' The session log will look like this:
