// 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"
mailman.PopPassword = "myPassword"

// 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
bundle = mailman.GetAllHeaders(1)
If (mailman.LastMethodSuccess = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(mailman.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

Dim i As Int32

Dim email As Chilkat.Email
While i < bundle.MessageCount
    email = bundle.GetEmail(i)

    System.DebugLog("From: " + email.From)
    System.DebugLog("Subject: " + email.Subject)

    // If you decide the email is to be deleted, call DeleteEmail.
    // This marks the email for deletion on the POP3 server.
