IMAP Authentication using OAUTH
Using the Chilkat IMAP component/library, it is possible to authenticate using OAUTH via the SendRawCommand method. Instead of calling the imap.Login method, you would instead call imap.SendRawCommand as shown here: string response = imap.SendRawCommand(“AUTHENTICATE XOAUTH <base64_data>”); Your application will need to compute the OAUTH base64 string. Chilkat does not implement that computations required for generating […]
Using regsvr32 to Register a 32-bit ActiveX or 64-bit ActiveX on Windows 64-bit System
A 64-bit Windows system has two separate registries — one for 32-bit processes, and one for 64-bit processes. The reason for this is simple: Let’s say your application instantiates an instance of an ActiveX component by calling CreateObject(“Chilkat.Ssh”). If your application is running in a 32-bit address space, the registry entries for “Chilkat.Ssh” should point […]

SOCKS4 proxy server sometimes rejects FTP data connection?
The FTP Extended Passive Mode (EPSV) continues to be both a solution to problems AND the cause of problems. The Chilkat FTP2 component will automatically use EPSV (as opposed to PASV) if it detects the FTP server supports EPSV. This is generally a good thing to do, and often solves problems. However, occasionally it can […]
VC++ Link problem: fatal error C1047, “Chilkat*.lib’ was created with an older compiler than other objects; rebuild old objects and libraries”

IMAP Login: BAD Command received in Invalid state.
This error can happen if you connect to an IMAP server without SSL/TLS (i.e. at port 143) but the server does not allow unsecure sessions. Oddly enough, the Microsoft Exchange IMAP4 server will accept the connection, but will fail any login attempt with this error. Here is a sample SessionLog: Connecting to IMAP server at […]
Error 0x8002801D when Instantiating Chilkat HTTP ActiveX
This error indicates that there is a problem with the registry information for the ActiveX DLL. The registry entry may be missing or contain incorrect information, or the user may not have permission to read the registry entry. In ASP, the error message may look like this: Server object error ‘ASP 0177 : 8002801d’ In […]
Using Chilkat IMAP with Yahoo IMAP (imap.mail.yahoo.com)
From Wikipedia: It is possible to get direct IMAP access without signing up for paid access nor using software like YPOPs! or FreePOPs. Yahoo! operates IMAP and secure IMAP servers (imap.mail.yahoo.com in particular), which are globally accessible. However they require a specific, non-standard IMAP command to be sent before login is done, namely: “ID (“GUID” […]
