Lua Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

POP3 Session Log

Demonstrates how the Chilkat email component keeps a log of the current POP3 session in the mailman.Pop3SessionLog property. Lua

local chilkat = require("chilkat")

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

-- The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3)
-- and sending (SMTP) email.
local mailman = chilkat.MailMan.new()

-- Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.mail_host = "pop3.example.com"

-- Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.pop_username = "pop3_login"
mailman.pop_password = "pop3_password"
mailman.mail_port = 995
mailman.pop_ssl = true

-- You can start and end POP3 sessions using Pop3BeginSession and Pop3EndSession.
-- However, these calls are optional because a connection will be established automatically
-- when a method requiring a POP3 server connection is used.

local success = mailman:pop3_begin_session()
if not success then
    print(mailman.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Get the list of UIDLs for all emails in the mailbox.
local stUidls = chilkat.StringTable.new()
success = mailman:fetch_uidls(stUidls)
if not success then
    print(mailman.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Examine the POP3 session log:
print(mailman.pop3_session_log)
