Download POP3 Email to MIME

Download the email from a POP3 mailbox directly into MIME, without parsing into email objects. Perl

use chilkat();

$success = 0;

# This example requires 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.
$mailman = chilkat::CkMailMan->new();

# Set the POP3 server's hostname
$mailman->put_MailHost("pop.example.com");

# Set the POP3 login/password.
$mailman->put_PopUsername("myLogin");
$mailman->put_PopPassword("myPassword");

# First, get the complete set of UIDLs for the email in the POP3 mailbox:
$stUidls = chilkat::CkStringTable->new();
$success = $mailman->FetchUidls($stUidls);
if ($success == 0) {
    print $mailman->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# Download each email as MIME.
# If desired, the MIME can be loaded into an email object.
$bdMime = chilkat::CkBinData->new();
$email = chilkat::CkEmail->new();

$count = $stUidls->get_Count();
$i = 0;
while ($i < $count) {
    $success = $mailman->FetchMimeBd($stUidls->stringAt($i),$bdMime);
    if ($success == 0) {
        print $mailman->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
        exit;
    }

    $email->SetFromMimeBd($bdMime);
    print "From: " . $email->ck_from() . "\r\n";
    print "Subject: " . $email->subject() . "\r\n";

    $i = $i + 1;
