# 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 = chilkat2.MailMan()

# Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.MailHost = "pop3.example.com"

# Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.PopUsername = "pop3_login"
mailman.PopPassword = "pop3_password"
mailman.MailPort = 995
mailman.PopSsl = True

# You may explicitly begin and end POP3 sessions by calling
# Pop3BeginSession and Pop3EndSession.  However, 
# if a method is called that requires a connection to the POP3
# server, the connection and session will become established
# automatically.  Therefore, it is not required to explicitly call
# Pop3BeginSession and Pop3EndSession.

# Get a list of the UIDLs for the email in the mailbox and print it.
# sa is a CkStringArray
