    //  This example assumes 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.
    mailman := chilkat.NewMailMan()

    //  To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
    //  and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
    //  and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
    //  HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
    mailman.SetHttpProxyHostname("www.my-http-proxy.com")
    mailman.SetHttpProxyPort(3128)

    //  Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
    //  traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

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

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

    //  Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox 
    //  into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
    //  
    //  NOTE: All methods that communicate with a POP3 server
    //  will automatically connect and authenticate (i.e. login)
    //  if not already connected.  The connection will remain
    //  open after the method call returns so that subsequent
    //  calls do not need to re-establish the connection.
    //  In this case, the connection is established via the HTTP
    //  proxy.
