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

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"

// Get the number of messages in the mailbox.
Dim numMessages As Int32
numMessages = mailman.GetMailboxCount()

// Message numbers are specific to a POP3 session. 
// If a maildrop (i.e. inbox)  contains 10 messages, 
// the message numbers will be 1, 2, 3, ... 10. 
// If message number 1 is deleted and a new POP3 session 
// is established, there will be 9 messages numbered 1, 2, 3, ... 9. 

Dim i As Int32
i = 1

Dim email As Chilkat.Email
While i <= numMessages

    email = mailman.FetchByMsgnum(i)
    If (mailman.LastMethodSuccess <> True) Then
        System.DebugLog(mailman.LastErrorText)
        Return
    End If

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

    i = i + 1
