Question:
Can't get this to work in VB6 and can't find working VB6 code example.
Want to loop check gmail to notify me if any new emails arrive.
Thanks
I just tried the following code and it works for me with 9.4.0 (haven't tried 9.4.1 yet):
Option Explicit
Private Sub Command1_Click()
Dim lo_Imap As CHILKATIMAPLib.ChilkatImap
Dim lo_MsgSet As CHILKATIMAPLib.messageSet
Set lo_Imap = New CHILKATIMAPLib.ChilkatImap
' Use your unlock code to unlock the component
If lo_Imap.UnlockComponent("YOUR UNLOCK CODE") <> 1 Then
Err.Raise vbObjectError, , "Could not unlock IMAP component." & vbNewLine & lo_Imap.LastErrorText
End If
With lo_Imap
' Setup connection settings (Example uses Gmail IMAP connection settings)
.Port = 993
.Ssl = 1
' Connect to the server (example uses GMail IMAP server)
If .Connect("imap.gmail.com") <> 1 Then
Err.Raise vbObjectError, , "Could not connect to IMAP server." & vbNewLine & .LastErrorText
End If
' Use your e-mail username and password to login
If .Login("myemail@gmail.com", "mypassword") <> 1 Then
Err.Raise vbObjectError, , "Could not login to IMAP server." & vbNewLine & .LastErrorText
End If
' Select the Inbox
If .SelectMailbox("inbox") <> 1 Then
Err.Raise vbObjectError, , "Could not select Inbox." & vbNewLine & .LastErrorText
End If
' Get unread messages
Set lo_MsgSet = .Search("UNSEEN", 1)
If lo_MsgSet Is Nothing Then
Err.Raise vbObjectError, , "Could not retrieve new messages." & vbNewLine & .LastErrorText
End If
' Display the retrieved message count
MsgBox "Found new message count: " & lo_MsgSet.Count
End With
End Sub
Hmm, that worked with DLL but didn't work as ocx. Odd so switched coding to use dll rather than ocx
Thanks
