// 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 := CkMailMan_Create();

// Set the SMTP server (obviously, use your SMTP server, not chilkatsoft.com)
CkMailMan_putSmtpHost(mailman,'smtp.chilkatsoft.com');

// Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
CkMailMan_putSmtpUsername(mailman,'myUsername');
CkMailMan_putSmtpPassword(mailman,'myPassword');

// Create a new email object
email := CkEmail_Create();

CkEmail_putSubject(email,'This is a test');

CkEmail_putFrom(email,'Chilkat Support <support@chilkatsoft.com>');
success := CkEmail_AddTo(email,'Chilkat Admin','admin@chilkatsoft.com');
// To add more recipients, call AddTo, AddCC, or AddBcc once per recipient.

// To send high-priority email, 
// add the X-Priority header field with the value "1" 
// to indicate highest-priority.
// A value of "3" is normal, which is the same as not setting
// the X-Priority header at all, and "5" is the lowest. 
// "2" and "4" are in-betweens.

// Microsoft Outlook might add the following headers when
// sending high-priority email.

// X-Priority: 1 (Highest) 
// X-MSMail-Priority: High 
// Importance: High 

// The X-Priority header alone is enough to make the email high-priority.

CkEmail_AddHeaderField(email,'X-Priority','1');

// 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.
