I'm trying to build a simple imap mail reader, but for some reason, I cannot get the $imap->messages method to work. Any help would be greatly appreciated. And Happy New Year!

Here is the code (with username, password and host changed):

use strict;
use Mail::IMAPClient;
use Data::Dumper;
use IO::File;
my $imap = Mail::IMAPClient->new( 
     Server   => "some.secure.imap.server",
     User     => "someuser",
     Password => "somepassword",
     debug     => 1,
    ) or die "Cannot connect: $@";
my $folder = "Inbox";
$imap->exists($folder) or warn "$folder not found: $@\n";
my $msgcount = $imap->message_count($folder); 
defined($msgcount) or die "Could not message_count: $@\n";
print "msg count = ", $msgcount, "\n";

my @msgs = $imap->messages or die "Could not messages: $@\n";

my $i;

foreach $i (@msgs)
{
    print "\$i = $i\n";
}


$imap->disconnect or warn "Could not disconnect: $@\n";
