# 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 = chilkat.CkMailMan()

# Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.put_MailHost("pop3.example.com")

# Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.put_PopUsername("pop3_login")
mailman.put_PopPassword("pop3_password")
mailman.put_MailPort(995)
mailman.put_PopSsl(True)

# 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 != True):
    print(mailman.lastErrorText())
    sys.exit()

# Get a list of the UIDLs for the email in the mailbox and print it.
# sa is a CkStringArray
