'  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.SocksHostname = "www.mysocksproxyserver.com"
mailman.SocksPort = 1080

'  Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
'  of the SOCKS proxy server:
mailman.SocksVersion = 5
'  Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
'  SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

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

'  Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.PopUsername = "myLogin"
mailman.PopPassword = "myPassword"

'  into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
