Download POP3 Email using UIDLs

Demonstrates how to download POP3 email by first getting the complete set of UIDLs and then downloading email by calling FetchByUIDL for each UIDL. Ruby

require 'chilkat'

success = false

# 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 = Chilkat::CkMailMan.new()

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

# Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.put_PopUsername("myLogin")
mailman.put_PopPassword("myPassword")

stUidls = Chilkat::CkStringTable.new()
success = mailman.FetchUidls(stUidls)
if (success == false)
    print mailman.lastErrorText() + "\n";
    exit
end

email = Chilkat::CkEmail.new()

count = stUidls.get_Count()
i = 0
while i < count
    # Download the full email.
    success = mailman.FetchByUidl(stUidls.stringAt(i),false,0,email)
    if (success == false)
        print mailman.lastErrorText() + "\n";
        exit
    end

    print i.to_s() + "\n";
    print "From: " + email.ck_from() + "\n";
    print "Subject: " + email.subject() + "\n";

    i = i + 1
end
