Secure IMAP over TLS/SSL

To communicate with an IMAP server over TLS/SSL, simply set the Ssl and Port properties. The remainder of your code is the same as with non-SSL. VBScript

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

success = 0

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

set imap = CreateObject("Chilkat.Imap")

' To use a secure TLS/SSL connection, set the Ssl property and the port:
imap.Ssl = 1
' The typical port for IMAP SSL is 993
imap.Port = 993

' Connect to an IMAP server.
success = imap.Connect("imap.example.com")
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
fetchUids = 1
set messageSet = CreateObject("Chilkat.MessageSet")
success = imap.QueryMbx("ALL",fetchUids,messageSet)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
set bundle = CreateObject("Chilkat.EmailBundle")
headersOnly = 0
success = imap.FetchMsgSet(headersOnly,messageSet,bundle)
If (success = 0) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(imap.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

' Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
set email = CreateObject("Chilkat.Email")
i = 0
numEmails = bundle.MessageCount
Do While i < numEmails
    success = bundle.EmailAt(i,email)

    outFile.WriteLine(email.From)
    outFile.WriteLine(email.Subject)
    outFile.WriteLine("--")
    i = i + 1
Loop

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

outFile.Close
