// This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

$mailman = new CkMailMan();

// 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');

// Get the number of messages in the mailbox.
$numMessages = $mailman->GetMailboxCount();

// Message numbers are specific to a POP3 session. 
// If a maildrop (i.e. inbox)  contains 10 messages, 
// the message numbers will be 1, 2, 3, ... 10. 
// If message number 1 is deleted and a new POP3 session 
// is established, there will be 9 messages numbered 1, 2, 3, ... 9.

$email = new CkEmail();
while ($i <= $numMessages) {
    // Fetch by the message number (not by the UIDL)
    $success = $mailman->FetchOne(false,0,$i,$email);
