    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3) 
    // and sending (SMTP) email.
    mailman = CkMailMan_Create();

    // To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
    // and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
    // and port of the HTTP proxy.  Typical port numbers used by
    // HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
    CkMailMan_putHttpProxyHostname(mailman,"www.my-http-proxy.com");
    CkMailMan_putHttpProxyPort(mailman,3128);

    // Important:  Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
    // traffic to pass.  Otherwise this does not work.

    // Set the POP3 server's hostname
    CkMailMan_putMailHost(mailman,"pop.someMailServer.com");

    // Set the POP3 login/password.
    CkMailMan_putPopUsername(mailman,"myLogin");
    CkMailMan_putPopPassword(mailman,"myPassword");

    // Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox 
    // into a bundle object.  The email remains on the server.
    // 
    // NOTE: All methods that communicate with a POP3 server
    // will automatically connect and authenticate (i.e. login)
    // if not already connected.  The connection will remain
    // open after the method call returns so that subsequent
    // calls do not need to re-establish the connection.
    // In this case, the connection is established via the HTTP
    // proxy.
