success: Integer;
mailman: TChilkatMailMan;
email: TChilkatEmail;

begin
success := 0;

// 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.
mailman := TChilkatMailMan.Create(Self);

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

// Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.SmtpUsername := 'myLogin';
mailman.SmtpPassword := 'myPassword';

// Create a new email object
email := TChilkatEmail.Create(Self);

// Load a .eml file into the email object.
success := email.LoadEml('/data/myEmail.eml');

// Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server 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.ControlInterface);
if (success <> 1) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add(mailman.LastErrorText);
    Exit;
  end;

// 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 <> 1) then
  begin
    Memo1.Lines.Add('Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.');
  end;

Memo1.Lines.Add('Mail Sent!');
