<?php

// This example requires 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 = 'myPassword';

// First, get the complete set of UIDLs for the email in the POP3 mailbox:
// saUidls is a Chilkat.StringArray
$saUidls = $mailman->GetUidls();
if ($mailman->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print $mailman->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// Download the email as MIME strings (no parsing of the MIME)
// saMime is a Chilkat.StringArray
$saMime = $mailman->FetchMultipleMime($saUidls);
if ($mailman->LastMethodSuccess != 1) {
    print $mailman->LastErrorText . "\n";

    exit;
}

// MIME strings may be loaded into email objects:

// For versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0, use new COM('Chilkat_9_5_0.Chilkat.Email')
$email = new COM("Chilkat.Email");
for ($i = 0; $i <= $saMime->Count - 1; $i++) {
    $success = $email->SetFromMimeText($saMime->getString($i));
    print 'From: ' . $email->From . "\n";
    print 'Subject: ' . $email->Subject . "\n";
