C++ code to check for email on a POP3 server.

// The Chilkat Email library is also available as an ActiveX component
// or .NET class with the identical set of methods and properties.

// Check to see how many emails are on the POP3 server.
void EmailExample(void)
    {
    CkString str;
    CkMailMan mailman;

    // Any string passed to UnlockComponent begins the 30-day trial.
    bool unlocked = mailman.UnlockComponent("30-day trial");
    if (!unlocked)
	{
	printf("Failed to unlock component\n");
	return;
	}

    mailman.put_MailHost("mail.chilkatsoft.com");
    mailman.put_PopUsername("matt");
    mailman.put_PopPassword(myPassword);

    // Set the POP3 port to the standard MS Exchange Server SSL POP3 port 995
    // mailman.put_MailPort(995);
    // Tell the mailman to connect to POP3 using SSL
    // mailman.put_PopSsl(true);

    int numEmailMessages = mailman.CheckMail();
    if (numEmailMessages == -1)
	{
	mailman.LastErrorText(str);
	printf("%s",str.getString());
	}
    else
	{
	printf("There are %d mail messages on the POP3 server.\n",numEmailMessages);
	}
