  // and sending (SMTP) email.
  const mailman = new MailMan();

  // To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
  // properties prior to making any calls that communicate with
  // a POP3 server:
  // The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
  // IP address:
  mailman.socksHostname = 'www.mysocksproxyserver.com';
  mailman.socksPort = 1080;
  mailman.socksUsername = 'myProxyLogin';
  mailman.socksPassword = 'myProxyPassword';
  // Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
  // of the SOCKS proxy server:
  mailman.socksVersion = 5;
  // Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
  // SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

  // Set the POP3 server's hostname
  mailman.mailHost = 'pop.example.com';

  // Set the POP3 login/password.
  mailman.popUsername = 'myLogin';
  mailman.popPassword = 'myPassword';

  // Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox 
  // into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
