Demonstrates how to read all of the email from a POP3 inbox by fetching each email by it's message number. JavaScript

var success = false;

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

var mailman = new CkMailMan();

// Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.MailHost = "pop.example.com";

// Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.PopUsername = "myLogin";
mailman.PopPassword = "myPassword";

// Get the number of messages in the mailbox.
var 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. 

var i = 1;

var email = new CkEmail();
while (i <= numMessages) {
    // Fetch by the message number (not by the UIDL)
    success = mailman.FetchOne(false,0,i,email);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(mailman.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    console.log(email.From + ": " + email.Subject + "\n");

    i = i+1;
