(Xojo Plugin) 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.

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

Dim imap As New Chilkat.Imap

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

// Connect to an IMAP server.
Dim success As Boolean
success = imap.Connect("imap.someMailServer.com")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(imap.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

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

// Select an IMAP mailbox
success = imap.SelectMailbox("Inbox")
If (success <> True) Then
    System.DebugLog(imap.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// We can choose to fetch UIDs or sequence numbers.
Dim fetchUids As Boolean
fetchUids = True
// Get the message IDs of all the emails in the mailbox
Dim messageSet As Chilkat.MessageSet
messageSet = imap.Search("ALL",fetchUids)
If (imap.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(imap.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Fetch the emails into a bundle object:
Dim bundle As Chilkat.EmailBundle
bundle = imap.FetchBundle(messageSet)
If (imap.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then

    System.DebugLog(imap.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

// Loop over the bundle and display the FROM and SUBJECT of each.
Dim i As Int32
i = 0
Dim numEmails As Int32
numEmails = bundle.MessageCount
While i < numEmails
    Dim email As Chilkat.Email
    email = bundle.GetEmail(i)
    System.DebugLog(email.From)
    System.DebugLog(email.Subject)
    System.DebugLog("--")

    i = i + 1
Wend

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