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

    // The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
    var mailman = new chilkat.MailMan();

    // To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
    // and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
    // and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
    // HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
    mailman.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com";
    mailman.HttpProxyPort = 3128;

    // Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
    // traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

    // Set the SMTP server.
    mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com";

    // Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
    mailman.SmtpUsername = "myUsername";
    mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword";

    var email = new chilkat.Email();

    email.Subject = "This is a test";

    // Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server via the HTTP proxy and send.
    // The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
    // open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
    // same connection.  
    success = mailman.SendEmail(email);
    if (success !== true) {
        console.log(mailman.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    // Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
    // the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
    // call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
    // Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
    // not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
    // for the example:
    success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection();
    if (success !== true) {
        console.log("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.");
    }
