VB.NET Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

SOCKS4, SOCKS5 Proxy for POP3

Demonstrates how to communicate with a POP3 server through a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy. VB.NET

Dim success As Boolean = False

'  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

'  To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
'  properties prior to making any calls that communicate with
'  a POP3 server:
'  The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
'  IP address:
mailman.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
mailman.SocksPort = 1080
mailman.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
mailman.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"
'  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
'  of the SOCKS proxy server:
mailman.SocksVersion = 5
'  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
'  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

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

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

'  Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox 
'  into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
Dim bundle As New Chilkat.EmailBundle
Dim keepOnServer As Boolean = True
Dim headersOnly As Boolean = False
'  Irrelevent because we are NOT downloading headers-only
Dim numBodyLines As Integer = 0
success = mailman.FetchAll(keepOnServer,headersOnly,numBodyLines,bundle)
If (success = False) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


Dim email As New Chilkat.Email
Dim i As Integer = 0
While i < bundle.MessageCount
    bundle.EmailAt(i,email)

    Debug.WriteLine("From: " & email.From)
    Debug.WriteLine("Subject: " & email.Subject)
    i = i + 1
End While
