Zig Requires Chilkat v11.0.0+

POP3 using HTTP Proxy

Demonstrates how to communicate with a POP3 server through an HTTP proxy. Zig

const std = @import("std");
const chilkat = @import("chilkat");

pub fn main(init: std.process.Init) !void {
    const alloc = init.arena.allocator();

    // 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.
    const mailman = try chilkat.MailMan.init();
    defer mailman.deinit();

    // To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
    // and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
    // and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
    // HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
    mailman.setHttpProxyHostname("www.my-http-proxy.com");
    mailman.setHttpProxyPort(3128);

    // Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
    // traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

    // Set the POP3 server's hostname
    mailman.setMailHost("pop.example.com");

    // Set the POP3 login/password.
    mailman.setPopUsername("myLogin");
    mailman.setPopPassword("myPassword");

    // Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox
    // into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
    //
    // NOTE: All methods that communicate with a POP3 server
    // will automatically connect and authenticate (i.e. login)
    // if not already connected.  The connection will remain
    // open after the method call returns so that subsequent
    // calls do not need to re-establish the connection.
    // In this case, the connection is established via the HTTP
    // proxy.
    const bundle = try chilkat.EmailBundle.init();
    defer bundle.deinit();
    const keep_on_server = true;
    const headers_only = false;
    // Irrelevent because we are not downloading headers-only
    const num_body_lines = 0;
    mailman.fetchAll(keep_on_server, headers_only, num_body_lines, bundle) catch {
        std.debug.print("{s}\n", .{try mailman.getLastErrorText(alloc)});
        return;
    };

    const email = try chilkat.Email.init();
    defer email.deinit();
    var i: i32 = 0;
    while (i < bundle.getMessageCount()) {
        bundle.emailAt(i, email) catch {};

        std.debug.print("From: {s}\n", .{try email.getFrom(alloc)});
        std.debug.print("Subject: {s}\n", .{try email.getSubject(alloc)});
        i = i + 1;
    }

    try mailman.pop3EndSession();
