Selecting a mailbox

This sample connects to IMAP4 server, logs in e-mail account and selects "Inbox" folder for read/write access.

Note: "Mailbox" and "folder" terms mean the same.

SelectMailbox method used in this sample selects e-mail account folder for read/write access (i.e. you can both retrieve and manage e-mail).

ExamineMailbox method differs from SelectMailbox in that the folder is being selected for read-only access (i.e. you can only read e-mail).

Dim objIMAP4, objMsg

' Create IMAP4 object
Set objIMAP4 = CreateObject("MailBee.IMAP4")

' Enable logging IMAP4 session into a file
objIMAP4.EnableLogging = True
objIMAP4.LogFilePath = "C:\imap4_log.txt"

' Unlock IMAP4 object
objIMAP4.LicenseKey = "put your license key here"

' Set IMAP4 server name
objIMAP4.ServerName = "mail.server.com"

' Set user credentials
objIMAP4.UserName = "username"
objIMAP4.Password = "password"

' Connect to the server and
' log in email account
If objIMAP4.Connect Then

  ' Select Inbox folder
  If objIMAP4.SelectMailbox("Inbox") Then
    ' All is fine
    MsgBox "Inbox selected successfully"
  Else
    ' Display error information
    MsgBox "Error #" & objIMAP4.ErrCode
    MsgBox "Server response: " & objIMAP4.ServerResponse
  End If

  ' Close the connection
  objIMAP4.Disconnect
Else
  ' Display error information
  MsgBox "Error #" & objIMAP4.ErrCode
  MsgBox "Server response: " & objIMAP4.ServerResponse
