Fetch a Set of POP3 Messages by UIDL

See more POP3 Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.FetchUidlSet method, which retrieves the messages whose UIDLs are listed in a StringTable and appends them to an EmailBundle. The arguments are the UIDL StringTable, headersOnly, numBodyLines, and the EmailBundle. This example fetches two specific messages by UIDL.

// Important: Don't forget to include the call to System.loadLibrary
// as shown at the bottom of this code sample.

    //  headersOnly=false (fetch the entire message).
    //  Note: numBodyLines only applies when headersOnly is true (it sets how many lines of the
    //  body to include along with the headers).  When headersOnly is false, the entire message
    //  is fetched and numBodyLines is ignored.

    //  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.
