Dim success As Boolean

' 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 = "myPassword"

' First, get the complete set of UIDLs for the email in the POP3 mailbox:
Dim saUidls As Chilkat.StringArray = Await mailman.GetUidlsAsync()
If (mailman.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Download the email as MIME strings (no parsing of the MIME)
Dim saMime As Chilkat.StringArray = Await mailman.FetchMultipleMimeAsync(saUidls)
If (mailman.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText)

    Exit Sub
End If




' MIME strings may be loaded into email objects:
Dim i As Integer
Dim email As New Chilkat.Email
For i = 0 To saMime.Count - 1
    success = email.SetFromMimeText(saMime.GetString(i))
    Debug.WriteLine("From: " & email.From)
    Debug.WriteLine("Subject: " & email.Subject)
