#  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:
mailman.put_SocksHostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com")
mailman.put_SocksPort(1080)
mailman.put_SocksUsername("myProxyLogin")
mailman.put_SocksPassword("myProxyPassword")
#  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
#  of the SOCKS proxy server:
mailman.put_SocksVersion(5)
#  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
#  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

#  Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.put_MailHost("mail.chilkatsoft.com")

#  Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.put_PopUsername("myLogin")
mailman.put_PopPassword("myPassword")

#  Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox
#  into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
# bundle is a CkEmailBundle
bundle = mailman.CopyMail()
