// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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

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

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

// Get the number of messages in the mailbox.
int 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.

Chilkat.Email email = null;
while (i <= numMessages) {

    email = mailman.FetchByMsgnum(i);
    if (mailman.LastMethodSuccess != true) {
        Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText);

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