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

    mailman.put_MailHost("pop-mail.outlook.com");
    mailman.put_MailHost("pop3.live.com");

    mailman.put_PopUsername("my_account@live.com");
    mailman.put_PopPassword("my_live.com_password");
    mailman.put_MailPort(995);
    mailman.put_PopSsl(true);

    // Make the TLS connection to the POP3 server.
    success = mailman.Pop3Connect();
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << mailman.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Authenticate..
    success = mailman.Pop3Authenticate();
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << mailman.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Find out how many emails are on the server..
    int numEmails = mailman.CheckMail();
    if (numEmails < 0) {
        std::cout << mailman.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    // Examine the POP3 session log:
    std::cout << mailman.pop3SessionLog() << "\r\n";

    // End the POP3 session and close the connection to the POP3 server.
    success = mailman.Pop3EndSession();
    if (success != true) {
        std::cout << mailman.lastErrorText() << "\r\n";
        return;
    }

    std::cout << "-- Finished." << "\r\n";
