*  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

*  To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
*  and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
*  and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
*  HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
loMailman.HttpProxyHostname = "www.my-http-proxy.com"
loMailman.HttpProxyPort = 3128

*  Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
*  traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

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

*  Set the POP3 login/password.
loMailman.PopUsername = "myLogin"
loMailman.PopPassword = "myPassword"

*  Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox
*  into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
* 
*  NOTE: All methods that communicate with a POP3 server
*  will automatically connect and authenticate (i.e. login)
*  if not already connected.  The connection will remain
*  open after the method call returns so that subsequent
*  calls do not need to re-establish the connection.
*  In this case, the connection is established via the HTTP
*  proxy.
