Download Email and Forward

Download: Chilkat .NET Assemblies

Download email from a POP3 server into a collection of MIME strings (each email is a MIME string) and forward to another recipient. The MIME is never parsed by Chilkat.

        ' Read email from a POP3 server and return the complete MIME source of each email.
        ' The emails downloaded from the POP3 server are not loaded into Chilkat.Email objects,
        ' therefore they are not parsed, unwrapped (for encrypted/signed email), or modified
        ' in any way.
        Dim mailman As New Chilkat.MailMan
        mailman.UnlockComponent("anything for 30-day trial")

        mailman.MailHost = "mail.chilkatsoft.com"
        mailman.PopUsername = "****"
        mailman.PopPassword = "****"

        ' to send email...
