// The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3) 
// and sending (SMTP) email.

// 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:
loMailman.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
loMailman.SocksPort = 1080
loMailman.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
loMailman.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"
// Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
// of the SOCKS proxy server:
loMailman.SocksVersion = 5
// Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
// SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

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

// Set the POP3 login/password.

loMailman.PopPassword = "myPassword"

// Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox 
// into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
