' 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"

' Set the ImmediateDelete property = False
' When the DeleteEmail method is called, the POP3 session
' will remain open and the emails will be deleted all at once
' when the session closes.
mailman.ImmediateDelete = False

' Download email headers.  
Dim bundle As Chilkat.EmailBundle = Await mailman.GetAllHeadersAsync(1)
