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

    let mailman = CkoMailMan()!

    // Connection settings for pop3.live.com (or pop-mail.outlook.com, both should work)

    mailman.mailHost = "pop3.live.com"

    mailman.popUsername = "my_account@live.com"
    mailman.popPassword = "my_live.com_password"
    mailman.mailPort = 995
    mailman.popSsl = true

    // Make the TLS connection to the POP3 server.
    success = mailman.pop3Connect()
    if success != true {
        print("\(mailman.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Authenticate..
    success = mailman.pop3Authenticate()
    if success != true {
        print("\(mailman.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Find out how many emails are on the server..
    var numEmails: Int = mailman.checkMail().intValue
    if numEmails < 0 {
        print("\(mailman.lastErrorText!)")
        return
    }

    // Examine the POP3 session log:
    print("\(mailman.pop3SessionLog!)")

    // End the POP3 session and close the connection to the POP3 server.
    success = mailman.pop3EndSession()
    if success != true {
        print("\(mailman.lastErrorText!)")
        return
