' 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 Chilkat.MailMan

' Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.MailHost = "pop.someMailServer.com"

' Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.PopUsername = "myLogin"
mailman.PopPassword = "****"

' Make sure the ImmediateDelete property is set (this is the default)
' If ImmediateDelete is not set, messages marked for deletion
' by the Delete* methods will not be deleted until the POP3
' connection is closed by calling Pop3EndSession.
mailman.ImmediateDelete = True

' First, get all the UIDLs.
Dim sa As Chilkat.StringArray = mailman.GetUidls()

' Next, delete them all.
Dim success As Boolean = mailman.DeleteMultiple(sa)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText)
End If




' We're done with the POP3 session, so it doesn't hurt to call this...
success = mailman.Pop3EndSession()
