// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// Make the TLS connection to the POP3 server.

}

// Authenticate..

// Find out how many emails are on the server..

// Examine the POP3 session log:

// End the POP3 session and close the connection to the POP3 server.
if mailman.pop3_end_session().is_err() {
