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

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

    // Get the number of messages in the mailbox.
    numMessages := mailman.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.
