' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.

set mailman = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.MailMan")

' Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.MailHost = "pop.example.com"

' Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.PopUsername = "myLogin"
mailman.PopPassword = "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

set email = Server.CreateObject("Chilkat.Email")
Do While i <= numMessages
    ' Fetch by the message number (not by the UIDL)
    success = mailman.FetchOne(0,0,i,email)
    If (success = 0) Then
        Response.Write "<pre>" & Server.HTMLEncode( mailman.LastErrorText) & "</pre>"
        Response.End
