// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3) 
// and sending (SMTP) email.
loMailman = createobject("CkMailMan")

// Set the POP3 server's hostname
loMailman.MailHost = "pop.someMailServer.com"

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

// First, get the complete set of UIDLs for the email in the POP3 mailbox:
loSaUidls = loMailman.GetUidls()
if (loMailman.LastMethodSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loMailman.LastErrorText
    release loMailman
    return
endif

// Download the email as MIME strings (no parsing of the MIME)
loSaMime = loMailman.FetchMultipleMime(loSaUidls)
if (loMailman.LastMethodSuccess <> .T.) then
    ? loMailman.LastErrorText
    release loSaUidls
    release loMailman
    return
endif

release loSaUidls

// MIME strings may be loaded into email objects:

loEmail = createobject("CkEmail")
for i = 0 to loSaMime.Count - 1
    llSuccess = loEmail.SetFromMimeText(loSaMime.GetString(i))
    ? "From: " + loEmail.From
    ? "Subject: " + loEmail.Subject
next
