(PHP ActiveX) POP3 using HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to communicate with a POP3 server through an HTTP proxy.

Chilkat ActiveX Downloads ActiveX for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Note: The php_com_dotnet.dll may need to be enabled inside of php.ini.

<?php

// 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.
$mailman = new COM("Chilkat_9_5_0.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.someMailServer.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.
// bundle is a Chilkat_9_5_0.EmailBundle
$bundle = $mailman->CopyMail();
if ($mailman->LastMethodSuccess == 0) {
    print $mailman->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

$i = 0;

while ($i < $bundle->MessageCount) {
    // email is a Chilkat_9_5_0.Email
    $email = $bundle->GetEmail($i);
    print 'From: ' . $email->From . "\n";
    print 'Subject: ' . $email->Subject . "\n";

    $i = $i + 1;
}

$success = $mailman->Pop3EndSession();
