*  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")

*  To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
*  properties prior to making any calls that communicate with
*  a POP3 server:
*  The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or
*  IP address:
loMailman.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
loMailman.SocksPort = 1080
loMailman.SocksUsername = "myProxyLogin"
loMailman.SocksPassword = "myProxyPassword"
*  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
*  of the SOCKS proxy server:
loMailman.SocksVersion = 5
*  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
*  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

*  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.
