MailBee.ImapMail namespace contains classes and enumerations which can be used by your applications to manipulate mails and folders on an IMAP4 server. This includes downloading messages and IMAP4 envelopes (including customized download of certain parts of messages), uploading, deleting, copying and moving messages between folders, setting flags, search for messages matching the given criteria, folders management, sending custom commands to the server, authenticating using secure methods, and more.
MailBee supports a number of IMAP4 extensions which increase performance and expand the set of available features.
ImapMail.Imap (main class of this namespace) is declared as a component, which means you can also just drop it onto your application form instead of creating an instance in the code.
"Quick" methods are also supported, which allows you to download mail from the server in a single line of code.
The component has built-in support for secure connections (TLS/SSL) and proxy servers (SOCKS4/SOCKS5/HTTP).
