// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3) 
// and sending (SMTP) email.

// Set the POP3 server's hostname

// 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.

// First, get all the UIDLs.
