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

* 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"

* 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.
