// The version number (9_5_0) should match version of the Chilkat extension used, omitting the micro-version number.
// For example, if using Chilkat v9.5.0.48, then include as shown here:
include("chilkat_9_5_0.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.
$mailman = new CkMailMan();

// Set the POP3 server's hostname
$mailman->put_MailHost('pop.someMailServer.com');

// Set the POP3 login/password.
$mailman->put_PopUsername('myLogin');
$mailman->put_PopPassword('myPassword');

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

// Download the email as MIME strings (no parsing of the MIME)
// saMime is a CkStringArray
$saMime = $mailman->FetchMultipleMime($saUidls);
if ($mailman->get_LastMethodSuccess() != true) {
    print $mailman->lastErrorText() . "\n";

    exit;
}

// MIME strings may be loaded into email objects:

$email = new CkEmail();
for ($i = 0; $i <= $saMime->get_Count() - 1; $i++) {
    $success = $email->SetFromMimeText($saMime->getString($i));
    print 'From: ' . $email->from() . "\n";
    print 'Subject: ' . $email->subject() . "\n";
}
