// The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3) 
// and sending (SMTP) email.
CkoMailMan *mailman = [[CkoMailMan alloc] init];

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

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

// Make sure the ImmediateDelete property is set (this is the default)
// If ImmediateDelete is not set, messages marked for deletion
// by the Delete* methods will not be deleted until the POP3
// connection is closed by calling Pop3EndSession.
mailman.ImmediateDelete = YES;

// First, get all the UIDLs.
CkoStringArray *sa = [mailman GetUidls];

// Next, delete them all.
BOOL success = [mailman DeleteMultiple: sa];

    NSLog(@"%@",mailman.LastErrorText);
}

// We're done with the POP3 session, so it doesn't hurt to call this...
success = [mailman Pop3EndSession];
