# 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.
mailman = chilkat2.MailMan()

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

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

# Set the ImmediateDelete property = False
# When the DeleteEmail method is called, the POP3 session
# will remain open and the emails will be deleted all at once
# when the session closes.
mailman.ImmediateDelete = False

# Download email headers.  
# bundle is a CkEmailBundle

    email = bundle.GetEmail(i)

    print("From: " + email.From)
    print("Subject: " + email.Subject)

    # If you decide the email is to be deleted, call DeleteEmail.
    # This marks the email for deletion on the POP3 server.

# Make sure the POP3 session is ended to finalize the deletes.
