<?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.
// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.MailMan')
$mailman = new COM("Chilkat.MailMan");

// Set the POP3 server's hostname
$mailman->MailHost = 'pop.someMailServer.com';

// Set the POP3 login/password.
$mailman->PopUsername = 'myLogin';
$mailman->PopPassword = '****';

// 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.
$mailman->ImmediateDelete = 1;

// First, get all the UIDLs.
// sa is a Chilkat.StringArray
$sa = $mailman->GetUidls();

// Next, delete them all.
$success = $mailman->DeleteMultiple($sa);
if ($success != 1) {
    print $mailman->LastErrorText . "\n";
}

// We're done with the POP3 session, so it doesn't hurt to call this...
$success = $mailman->Pop3EndSession();
