* 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.
* For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use CreateObject('Chilkat_9_5_0.MailMan')
loMailman = CreateObject('Chilkat.MailMan')

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

* Set the POP3 login/password.
loMailman.PopUsername = "myLogin"
loMailman.PopPassword = "myPassword"

* Set the ImmediateDelete property = 0
* 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.
loMailman.ImmediateDelete = 0

* Download email headers.  
loBundle = loMailman.GetAllHeaders(1)
IF (loMailman.LastMethodSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loMailman.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loMailman
    CANCEL
ENDIF

i = 0

DO WHILE i < loBundle.MessageCount
    loEmail = loBundle.GetEmail(i)

    ? "From: " + loEmail.From
    ? "Subject: " + loEmail.Subject

    * If you decide the email is to be deleted, call DeleteEmail.
    * This marks the email for deletion on the POP3 server.
    lnSuccess = loMailman.DeleteEmail(loEmail)
    IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
        ? loMailman.LastErrorText
        RELEASE loMailman
        CANCEL
    ENDIF

    RELEASE loEmail

    i = i + 1
ENDDO

* Make sure the POP3 session is ended to finalize the deletes.
lnSuccess = loMailman.Pop3EndSession()
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    ? loMailman.LastErrorText
ENDIF
