IMAP

[PoojaKrishna]

Hi friends,

 

I'm trying to implement a script to read inbox of a IMAP thunderbird  server to sort and process mails with some particular text in subject field. I'm working on it for many days and not able to make much progress. When I execute the script, I get connected to the server and server responds with the text: * OK The Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 service is ready.

But the capability check always results in timeout.

I have tried the the commands from telnet command line and the capability request worked with this response: * CAPABILITY IMAP4 IMAP4rev1 AUTH=PLAIN STARTTLS UIDPLUS CHILDREN IDLE NAMESPACE LITERAL+
0 OK CAPABILITY completed.

Please help. Am I missing anything in my AutoIT code?

Thank you so much.
