# See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

# The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3) 
# and sending (SMTP) email.

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

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

# Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox 
# into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
bundle = Chilkat::CkEmailBundle.new()

# Irrelevent because we are NOT downloading headers-only
