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

Dim imap As New Chilkat.Imap

imap.Ssl = True
imap.Port = 993

// Connect to an IMAP server.
success = imap.Connect("imap.gmail.com")

End If

// Login
success = imap.Login("myLogin","myPassword")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(imap.LastErrorText)

// Create the new email folder (sub-mailbox) on the IMAP server.
// If no folder path is provided, the new folder is a sub-mailbox of Inbox.

// (In GMail, folders are called "labels".  
// This example would create a new "label" in GMail.)

// Now create a sub-folder under "newFolder".
// Make sure to use the proper separator char for your IMAP server.
// The separator char used here is "/".   It is typically "/" or ".".
// The SeparatorChar property contains the separator char
// that should be used for the current IMAP session.
