Delete Individual Emails from POP3 Mailbox

Demonstrates how to delete individual emails from a POP3 mailbox. C#

bool success = false;

//  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.
Chilkat.MailMan mailman = new Chilkat.MailMan();

//  Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.MailHost = "pop.example.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.  
Chilkat.EmailBundle bundle = new Chilkat.EmailBundle();
bool keepOnServer = true;
bool headersOnly = true;

while (i < bundle.MessageCount) {
    bundle.EmailAt(i,email);

    Debug.WriteLine("From: " + email.From);
    Debug.WriteLine("Subject: " + email.Subject);

    //  If you decide the email is to be deleted, call DeleteEmail.
    //  This marks the email for deletion on the POP3 server.
    success = mailman.DeleteEmail(email);
    if (success == false) {
        Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText);
        return;
