    // This example requires 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()
    var success bool

    // To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
    // properties prior to making any calls that communicate with
    // a POP3 server:
    // The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
    // IP address:
    mailman.SetSocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com")
    mailman.SetSocksPort(1080)
    mailman.SetSocksUsername("myProxyLogin")
    mailman.SetSocksPassword("myProxyPassword")
    // Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
    // of the SOCKS proxy server:
    mailman.SetSocksVersion(5)
    // Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
    // SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

    // Set the POP3 server's hostname
    mailman.SetMailHost("pop.someMailServer.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.
    bundle := mailman.CopyMail()
    if mailman.LastMethodSuccess() == false {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()

    }

    i := 0
    // email is a Email
    for i < bundle.MessageCount() {
        email := bundle.GetEmail(i)
        fmt.Println("From: ", email.From())
        fmt.Println("Subject: ", email.Subject())
        email.DisposeEmail()
        i = i + 1
