// This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
// See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

// and sending (SMTP) email.
let mailman = chilkat::MailMan::new();

// Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.set_mail_host("pop.example.com");

// Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.set_pop_username("myLogin");

// If running on Microsoft Windows, the Chilkat mailman
// will automatically search the registry-based certificate stores
// for matching certificates and private keys required for
// decryption.  However, on Linux, MAX OS X, and other
// operating systems, no such thing exists.  Therefore, you'll 
// need to specify one or more PFX (.p12 / .pfx) files as
// sources for locating the certs required for decyrption.
if mailman.add_pfx_source_file("/pfxFiles/certs_and_keys_1.pfx", "pfxPassword1").is_err() {

// ...
// Note: On MS Windows, it is not required to provide PFX sources
// if the needed certs and private keys are already installed
// on the system (in the registry-based certificate stores).

// into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.

// S/MIME security envelopes are automatically "unwrapped" 
// when a message is retrieved from the server. Signed emails are automatically verified, and 
// encrypted emails are automatically decrypted, restoring the email to the original state before 
// signing and/or encrypting. Information about the signing and encrypting certificates can be 
// retrieved from the Email object (methods: GetSignedByCert, GetEncryptedByCert; 
// properties: SignedBy, EncryptedBy, SignaturesValid, Decrypted, ReceivedSigned, 
// ReceivedEncrypted).

    // the email is already decrypted and in a state as if it were never signed or encrypted.
    // You may check to see if the email was received encrypted or signed, and if so,
    // whether it was successfully unwrapped and who signed or encrypted it:
