<?php

//  The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3)
//  and sending (SMTP) email.
$mailman = new COM("Chilkat.MailMan2");

//  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
$success = $mailman->UnlockComponent('30-day trial');
if ($success != true) {
    print 'Component unlock failed' . "\n";
    exit;
}

//  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.
$mailman->HttpProxyHostname = 'www.my-http-proxy.com';
$mailman->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
$mailman->MailHost = 'mail.chilkatsoft.com';

//  Set the POP3 login/password.
$mailman->PopUsername = 'myLogin';
$mailman->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.
// bundle is a Chilkat.EmailBundle2
$bundle = $mailman->CopyMail();

if (is_null($bundle)) {
    print $mailman->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

for ($i = 0; $i <= $bundle->MessageCount - 1; $i++) {
    // email is a Chilkat.Email2
    $email = $bundle->GetEmail($i);
    print $email->from() . "\n";
