    // 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.
    var mailman = new chilkat.MailMan();

    // 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.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com";
    mailman.HttpProxyPort = 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.MailHost = "pop.example.com";

    // Set the POP3 login/password.
    mailman.PopUsername = "myLogin";
    mailman.PopPassword = "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.
    var bundle = new chilkat.EmailBundle();
    var keepOnServer = true;
    var headersOnly = false;
    // Irrelevent because we are not downloading headers-only
    var numBodyLines = 0;
    success = mailman.FetchAll(keepOnServer,headersOnly,numBodyLines,bundle);
