Download the Full Version of a Partial Email

See more POP3 Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.FetchFull method, which downloads the complete version of a header-only or partial Email and stores it in a second Email. The full result includes the complete body and any attachments, and the partial email must retain its UIDL. This example previews message 1 (headers only) and then downloads it in full.
