' This example requires the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
' See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

' The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
Dim mailman As New Chilkat.MailMan

' Set the SMTP server.
mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com"

' Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.SmtpUsername = "myLogin"
mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword"

' Create a new email object
Dim email As New Chilkat.Email

' Load a .eml file into the email object.
Dim success As Boolean = email.LoadEml("/data/myEmail.eml")

' Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
' The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
' open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
' same connection.  
success = Await mailman.SendEmailAsync(email)
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


' Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until 
' the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
' call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.  
' Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is 
' not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
' for the example:
success = Await mailman.CloseSmtpConnectionAsync()
If (success <> True) Then
    Debug.WriteLine("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.")
End If


Debug.WriteLine("Mail Sent!")
