* This example requires 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"

* First, get the complete set of UIDLs for the email in the POP3 mailbox:
loStUidls = CreateObject('Chilkat.StringTable')
lnSuccess = loMailman.FetchUidls(loStUidls)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loMailman.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loMailman
    RELEASE loStUidls
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* Download each email as MIME.
* If desired, the MIME can be loaded into an email object.
loBdMime = CreateObject('Chilkat.BinData')
loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email')

        RELEASE loStUidls
        RELEASE loBdMime
        RELEASE loEmail
