'  The mailman object is used for sending and receiving email.
Dim mailman As New Chilkat.MailMan()

'  Any string argument automatically begins the 30-day trial.
Dim success As Boolean
success = mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial")
If (success <> true) Then
    MsgBox("Component unlock failed")
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Set the SMTP server.
mailman.SmtpHost = "smtp.chilkatsoft.com"

'  Set the SMTP login/password (if required)
mailman.SmtpUsername = "myLogin"
mailman.SmtpPassword = "myPassword"

'  Create a new email object
Dim email As New Chilkat.Email()

'  Load a .eml file into the email object.
success = email.LoadEml("c:/temp/myEmail.eml")

'  Call SendEmail to connect to the SMTP server and send.
'  The connection (i.e. session) to the SMTP server remains
'  open so that subsequent SendEmail calls may use the
'  same connection.
success = mailman.SendEmail(email)
If (success <> true) Then
    MsgBox(mailman.LastErrorText)
    Exit Sub
End If


'  Some SMTP servers do not actually send the email until
'  the connection is closed.  In these cases, it is necessary to
'  call CloseSmtpConnection for the mail to be  sent.
'  Most SMTP servers send the email immediately, and it is
'  not required to close the connection.  We'll close it here
'  for the example:
success = mailman.CloseSmtpConnection()
If (success <> true) Then
    MsgBox("Connection to SMTP server not closed cleanly.")
End If


MsgBox("Mail Sent!")
