' This example requires 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.example.com"

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

Dim stUidls As New Chilkat.StringTable
success = mailman.FetchUidls(stUidls)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim email As New Chilkat.Email

Dim count As Integer = stUidls.Count
Dim i As Integer = 0
While i < count
    ' Download the full email.
    success = mailman.FetchByUidl(stUidls.StringAt(i),False,0,email)
    If (success = False) Then
        Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText)
        Exit Sub
    End If


    Debug.WriteLine(i)
    Debug.WriteLine("From: " & email.From)
    Debug.WriteLine("Subject: " & email.Subject)

    i = i + 1
End While
