# 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:
$mailman->put_SocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com");
$mailman->put_SocksPort(1080);
$mailman->put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin");
$mailman->put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword");
# Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
# of the SOCKS proxy server:
$mailman->put_SocksVersion(5);
# Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
# SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

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

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

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