Read All Email from POP3 Inbox by Message Numbers

Demonstrates how to read all of the email from a POP3 inbox by fetching each email by it's message number. Go

    success := false

    // This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    mailman := chilkat.NewMailMan()

    // Set the POP3 server's hostname
    mailman.SetMailHost("pop.example.com")

    // Set the POP3 login/password.
    mailman.SetPopUsername("myLogin")
    mailman.SetPopPassword("myPassword")

    // Get the number of messages in the mailbox.
    numMessages := mailman.GetMailboxCount()

    // Message numbers are specific to a POP3 session. 
    // If a maildrop (i.e. inbox)  contains 10 messages, 
    // the message numbers will be 1, 2, 3, ... 10. 
    // If message number 1 is deleted and a new POP3 session 
    // is established, there will be 9 messages numbered 1, 2, 3, ... 9. 

    i := 1

    email := chilkat.NewEmail()
    for i <= numMessages {
        // Fetch by the message number (not by the UIDL)
        success = mailman.FetchOne(false,0,i,email)
        if success == false {
            fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
            mailman.DisposeMailMan()
            email.DisposeEmail()
            return
        }

        fmt.Println(email.From(), ": ", email.Subject(), "\n")

        i = i + 1
    }


    mailman.DisposeMailMan()
    email.DisposeEmail()
