' This example assumes 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.
Dim mailman As New ChilkatMailMan

' Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.MailHost = "pop3.example.com"

' Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.PopUsername = "pop3_login"
mailman.PopPassword = "pop3_password"
mailman.MailPort = 995
mailman.PopSsl = 1

' You may explicitly begin and end POP3 sessions by calling
' Pop3BeginSession and Pop3EndSession.  However, 
' if a method is called that requires a connection to the POP3
' server, the connection and session will become established
' automatically.  Therefore, it is not required to explicitly call
' Pop3BeginSession and Pop3EndSession.  

Dim success As Long
success = mailman.Pop3BeginSession()
If (success <> 1) Then
    Debug.Print mailman.LastErrorText
    Exit Sub
End If

' Get a list of the UIDLs for the email in the mailbox and print it.
Dim sa As CkStringArray
Set sa = mailman.GetUidls()
Dim i As Long

Dim n As Long
