# 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.
$mailman = New-Object Chilkat.MailMan

# Set the POP3 server's hostname
$mailman.MailHost = "pop3.example.com"

# Set the POP3 login/password.
$mailman.PopUsername = "pop3_login"
$mailman.PopPassword = "pop3_password"
$mailman.MailPort = 995

# You may explicitly begin and end POP3 sessions by calling
# Pop3BeginSession and Pop3EndSession.  However, 
# if a method is called that requires a connection to the POP3
# server, the connection and session will become established
# automatically.  Therefore, it is not required to explicitly call
# Pop3BeginSession and Pop3EndSession.  

$success = $mailman.Pop3BeginSession()
if ($success -ne $true) {
    $($mailman.LastErrorText)
    exit
}

# Get a list of the UIDLs for the email in the mailbox and print it.
$sa = $mailman.GetUidls()
$i = 0
$n = $sa.Count
while ($i -lt $n) {
    $($sa.GetString($i))
