*  The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3)
*  and sending (SMTP) email.
loMailman = CreateObject('Chilkat.MailMan2')

*  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.

lnSuccess = loMailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX("Component unlock failed")
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Set the POP3 server's hostname
loMailman.MailHost = "mail.chilkatsoft.com"

*  Set the POP3 login/password.
loMailman.PopUsername = "matt@chilkatsoft.com"
loMailman.PopPassword = "****"

*  Make sure the ImmediateDelete property is set (this is the default)
*  If ImmediateDelete is not set, messages marked for deletion
*  by the Delete* methods will not be deleted until the POP3
*  connection is closed by calling Pop3EndSession.
loMailman.ImmediateDelete = 1

*  First, get all the UIDLs.
loSa = loMailman.GetUidls()

*  Next, delete them all.
lnSuccess = loMailman.DeleteMultiple(loSa)
IF (lnSuccess <> 1) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loMailman.LastErrorText)
ENDIF

RELEASE loSa

*  We're done with the POP3 session, so it doesn't hurt to call this...
