* 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 = "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.

    * If you decide the email is to be deleted, call DeleteEmail.
    * This marks the email for deletion on the POP3 server.

* Make sure the POP3 session is ended to finalize the deletes.
