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

Dim imap As New Chilkat.Imap

// Connect to the IMAP server.
// Use TLS
imap.Ssl = True
imap.Port = 993
Dim success As Boolean
success = imap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")

End If

// Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")

// We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
Dim fetchUids As Boolean

// Sort the email bundle by date, recipient, sender, or subject:

// To sort by recipient, sender, or subject, call 
// SortBySender, SortByRecipient, or SortBySubject.

// Display the Subject and From of each email.
