Save All Email Attachments to a Directory

Example source code to save all email attachments to a directory.

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

// Save all attachments to disk.
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;
	}

    // 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);

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

    // Download email from the POP3 server.
    CkEmailBundle *bundle = 0;
    bundle = mailman.CopyMail();
    if (!bundle)
	{
	mailman.LastErrorText(str);
	printf("%s",str.getString());
	return;
	}

    int i;
    int n = bundle->get_MessageCount();

    for (i=0; i<n; i++)
	{
	CkEmail *email = bundle->GetEmail(i);

	int numAttach = email->get_NumAttachments();
	printf("Number of attachments = %d\n",numAttach);
	
	// Save all the attachments to a directory
	email->SaveAllAttachments("c:/attachments");
	
	// Now display the actual filenames of the attachments saved to disk
	int j;
	for (j=0; j<numAttach; j++)
	    {
	    // The filename returned by GetAttachmentFilename will not contain
	    // the directory path.  When Chilkat saves attachments, if a file
	    // of the same name already exists, Chilkat will modify the attachment
	    // filename to make it unique so nothing is overwritten.  After saving
	    // attachments, the GetAttachmentFilename method returns the name of
	    // the file saved.
	    email->GetAttachmentFilename(j,str);
