Explicitly Begin a POP3 Session

See more POP3 Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.Pop3BeginSession method, which explicitly begins a POP3 session by connecting to the POP3 server and authenticating using the current POP3 property settings. Calling it is optional. This example begins a session, performs a mailbox operation, and ends the session.

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