Remarks

Establishes a connection to the specified IMAP or IMAP/S server using the provided stream.

If the options has a value of Auto, then the port is used to determine the default security options. If the port has a value of 993, then the default options used will be SslOnConnect. All other values will use StartTlsWhenAvailable.

Once a connection is established, properties such as AuthenticationMechanisms and Capabilities will be populated.

Note  Note
With the exception of using the port to determine the default SecureSocketOptions to use when the options value is Auto, the host and port parameters are only used for logging purposes.
