(CkPython) POP3 to SMTP Forwarder

Read a POP3 mailbox and forwards the email to another email address, keeping the recipients in the original email the same.

# This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

mailman = chilkat.CkMailMan()

# Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.put_MailHost("pop.example.com")

# Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.put_PopUsername("MY_LOGIN")
mailman.put_PopPassword("MY_PASSWORD")

# The the UIDLs for all email in the POP3 mailbox.
# saUidls is a CkStringArray
saUidls = mailman.GetUidls()
if (mailman.get_LastMethodSuccess() == False):
    print(mailman.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Download the email from the server.  Call FetchMultipleMime
# because we don't want to load the emails into email objects.
# (We'll delete the emails that are forwarded without error.)
# Note: It is not reasonable to call this method for a mailbox containing
# a huge number of emails.  For large mailboxes, it's better to download
# one by one and process each email independently. This way, if a 
# server or communications error occurs, it's possible to write code
# that can resume.
# saMime is a CkStringArray
