Demonstrates how to read all of the email from a POP3 inbox by fetching each email by it's message number. Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loMailman
LOCAL lnNumMessages
LOCAL i
LOCAL loEmail

lnSuccess = 0

* This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

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"

* Get the number of messages in the mailbox.
lnNumMessages = loMailman.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. 

i = 1

loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email')
DO WHILE i <= lnNumMessages
    * Fetch by the message number (not by the UIDL)
    lnSuccess = loMailman.FetchOne(0,0,i,loEmail)
    IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
        ? loMailman.LastErrorText
        RELEASE loMailman
        RELEASE loEmail
        CANCEL
    ENDIF

    ? loEmail.From + ": " + loEmail.Subject + CHR(10)
