*  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 = "myPassword"

*  First, get the complete set of UIDLs for the email in the POP3 mailbox:

loSaUidls = loMailman.GetUidls()
IF (loSaUidls = NULL ) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loMailman.LastErrorText)
    QUIT
ENDIF

*  Download the email as MIME strings (no parsing of the MIME)

loSaMime = loMailman.FetchMultipleMime(loSaUidls)
IF (loSaMime = NULL ) THEN
    =MESSAGEBOX(loMailman.LastErrorText)
    RELEASE loSaUidls
    QUIT
ENDIF

RELEASE loSaUidls

*  MIME strings may be loaded into email objects:

loEmail = CreateObject('Chilkat.Email2')
FOR i = 0 TO loSaMime.Count - 1
    loEmail.SetFromMimeText(loSaMime.GetString(i))
    ? loEmail.From
    ? loEmail.Subject + CHR(13)+CHR(10)
NEXT

RELEASE loSaMime
