Delete a POP3 Message via an Email Object

See more POP3 Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.DeleteEmail method, which deletes a POP3 message using the UIDL stored in the X-UIDL header of an Email object. The email must contain an X-UIDL header, which it does after being fetched from the server. This example fetches a message and then deletes it.

// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

    //  Note: Explicitly connecting/authenticating is optional.  Chilkat MailMan automatically
    //  connects and authenticates -- using the property settings above -- whenever a server
    //  operation requires it.  Calling the explicit connect/authenticate methods can still be
    //  helpful to determine whether a failure occurs while connecting or while authenticating.
