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

    var success bool

    // The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3) 
    // and sending (SMTP) email.
    mailman := chilkat.NewMailMan()

    // Set the POP3 server's hostname
    mailman.SetMailHost("pop.someMailServer.com")

    // Set the POP3 login/password.
    mailman.SetPopUsername("myLogin")
    mailman.SetPopPassword("myPassword")

    // First, get the complete set of UIDLs for the email in the POP3 mailbox:
    saUidls := mailman.GetUidls()
    if mailman.LastMethodSuccess() != true {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()
        return

    // Download the email as MIME strings (no parsing of the MIME)
    saMime := mailman.FetchMultipleMime(saUidls)

        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        saUidls.DisposeStringArray()
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()

    saUidls.DisposeStringArray()

    // MIME strings may be loaded into email objects:
    var i int
    email := chilkat.NewEmail()
    for i = 0; i <= saMime.Count() - 1; i++ {
        success = email.SetFromMimeText(*saMime.GetString(i))
