		mailman.UnlockComponent("unlockCode");

		mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.earthlink.net";
		// The SMTP username and password are only necessary if
		// your SMTP server requires authentication.
		mailman.SmtpUsername = "myLogin";
		mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword";

		// Create an email object
		Chilkat.Email email = new Chilkat.Email();
