iOS Question Accessing an IMAP server (secure sockets)

[CaptKronos]

I have created b4A and B4J apps that talk to GMail via the IMAP protocol, and they both work well (or at least as well as I require). I would now like to port the app to B4I but B4I doesn't seem to have secure sockets within the iNetwork library (i.e. InitializeSSL). There was a similar query in this forum back in 2017 and Erel referred to the iWebsocket library. Unfortunately, as fas I can see, websockets won't help me connect to an IMAP server.
Am I missing something? If not, is there some reason that there isn't a secure sockets implementation for B4I?

Low level SSL sockets are still not supported.

If not, is there some reason that there isn't a secure sockets implementation for B4I?

Nothing too special. This is not a common feature (most cases are handled in higher level libraries) and not a simple feature to add.

That's a shame. I'll try to come up with a different solution. Thanks.
