// 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.
Chilkat.MailMan mailman = new Chilkat.MailMan();

// Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.MailHost = "pop.someMailServer.com";

// Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.PopUsername = "myLogin";
mailman.PopPassword = "myPassword";

// Set the ImmediateDelete property = false
// When the DeleteEmail method is called, the POP3 session
// will remain open and the emails will be deleted all at once
// when the session closes.
mailman.ImmediateDelete = false;

// Download email headers.  
Chilkat.EmailBundle bundle = mailman.GetAllHeaders(1);
if (mailman.LastMethodSuccess == false) {
    Debug.WriteLine(mailman.LastErrorText);
    return;

    email = bundle.GetEmail(i);

    Debug.WriteLine("From: " + email.From);
    Debug.WriteLine("Subject: " + email.Subject);

    // If you decide the email is to be deleted, call DeleteEmail.
    // This marks the email for deletion on the POP3 server.
