//  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
Chilkat.MailMan mailman = new Chilkat.MailMan();

//  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
bool success;
success = mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial");
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show("Component unlock failed");
    return;
}

//  Set the SMTP server.
mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com";

//  Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.SmtpUsername = "myLogin";
mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword";

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

//  Load a .eml file into the email object.
success = email.LoadEml("c:/temp/myEmail.eml");

//  Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
//  The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
//  open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
//  same connection.
success = mailman.SendEmail(email);
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show(mailman.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

//  Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until
//  the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
//  call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.
//  Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is
//  not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
//  for the example:
success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection();
if (success != true) {
    MessageBox.Show("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.");
}

MessageBox.Show("Mail Sent!");
