Read S/MIME encrypted email.

// 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 = 'myPassword';

// If running on Microsoft Windows, the Chilkat mailman
// will automatically search the registry-based certificate stores
// for matching certificates and private keys required for
// decryption.  However, on Linux, MAX OS X, and other
// operating systems, no such thing exists.  Therefore, you'll 
// need to specify one or more PFX (.p12 / .pfx) files as
// sources for locating the certs required for decyrption.
$success = $mailman->AddPfxSourceFile('/pfxFiles/certs_and_keys_1.pfx','pfxPassword1');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $mailman->LastErrorText . "\n";

$success = $mailman->AddPfxSourceFile('/pfxFiles/certs_and_keys_2.pfx','pfxPassword2');
if ($success != 1) {
    print $mailman->LastErrorText . "\n";
    exit;
}

// ...
// Note: On MS Windows, it is not required to provide PFX sources
// if the needed certs and private keys are already installed
// on the system (in the registry-based certificate stores).

// Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox 
// into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
// bundle is a Chilkat.EmailBundle
$bundle = $mailman->CopyMail();

}

// S/MIME security envelopes are automatically "unwrapped" 
// when a message is retrieved from the server. Signed emails are automatically verified, and 
// encrypted emails are automatically decrypted, restoring the email to the original state before 
// signing and/or encrypting. Information about the signing and encrypting certificates can be 
// retrieved from the Email object (methods: GetSignedByCert, GetEncryptedByCert; 
// properties: SignedBy, EncryptedBy, SignaturesValid, Decrypted, ReceivedSigned, 
// ReceivedEncrypted).

// Loop over the bundle, 
$i = 0;

    // At this point, if the email was signed and/or encrypted, it is already "unwrapped", i.e.
    // the email is already decrypted and in a state as if it were never signed or encrypted.
    // You may check to see if the email was received encrypted or signed, and if so,
    // whether it was successfully unwrapped and who signed or encrypted it:
