Starting with the v10.0.0 release (end of September 2024), Chilkat moves to standard semantic versioning. Prior to this release, for various technical reasons, Chilkat was stuck with versions 9.5.0.xx, where only xx changed.

This does not work: imap.SelectMailbox(“Public Folders”) Answer: The syntax in Outlook may be different than what is actually used in the underlying IMAP protocol.
