Demonstrates how to copy the entire contents of an IMAP mailbox to another IMAP server. Xojo Plugin

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

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

Dim imapSrc As New Chilkat.Imap

// Connect to our source IMAP server.
success = imapSrc.Connect("imap.example.com")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(imapSrc.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Login to the source IMAP server
success = imapSrc.Login("admin@chilkatsoft.com","myPassword")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(imapSrc.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Dim imapDest As New Chilkat.Imap

// Connect to our destination IMAP server.
success = imapDest.Connect("mail.example-code.com")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(imapDest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Login to the destination IMAP server
success = imapDest.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(imapDest.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Select an IMAP mailbox on the source IMAP server
success = imapSrc.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(imapSrc.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// After selecting a mailbox, the NumMessages property will
// be updated to reflect the total number of emails in the mailbox:
System.DebugLog(Str(imapSrc.NumMessages))

// The emails in the mailbox will always have sequence numbers
// ranging from 1 to NumMessages.

// This example will copy the first 10 messages using sequence numbers
Dim sbMime As New Chilkat.StringBuilder
Dim seqNum As Int32
For seqNum = 1 To 10
    sbMime.Clear 
    success = imapSrc.FetchSingleAsMimeSb(seqNum,False,sbMime)
    If (success = False) Then
        System.DebugLog(imapSrc.LastErrorText)
        Return
    End If

    success = imapDest.AppendMimeWithFlagsSb("Inbox",sbMime,False,False,False,False)
    If (success = False) Then
        System.DebugLog(imapDest.LastErrorText)
        Return
    End If

Next

// Disconnect from the IMAP servers.
success = imapSrc.Disconnect()
success = imapDest.Disconnect()
