Delete all email in a POP3 mailbox. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loMailman

lnSuccess = 0

* 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.
loMailman = CreateObject('Chilkat.MailMan')

* Set the POP3 server's hostname
loMailman.MailHost = "pop.example.com"

* Set the POP3 login/password.
loMailman.PopUsername = "bob@example.com"
loMailman.PopPassword = "****"

* Make sure the ImmediateDelete property is set (this is the default)
* If ImmediateDelete is not set, messages marked for deletion
* by the Delete* methods will not be deleted until the POP3
* connection is closed by calling Pop3EndSession.
loMailman.ImmediateDelete = 1

* First, get all the UIDLs.
loStUidls = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringTable')
lnSuccess = loMailman.FetchUidls(loStUidls)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loMailman.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loMailman
    RELEASE loStUidls
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Next, delete them all.
lnSuccess = loMailman.DeleteUidlSet(loStUidls)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loMailman.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loMailman
    RELEASE loStUidls
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* We're done with the POP3 session, so it doesn't hurt to call this...
lnSuccess = loMailman.Pop3EndSession()
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loMailman.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loMailman
    RELEASE loStUidls
    CANCEL
ENDIF

? "Success."

RELEASE loMailman
