Clear the POP3 Session Log

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.ClearPop3SessionLog method, which clears the current contents of the Pop3SessionLog property. This example performs a POP3 operation (which populates the log) and then clears it.

Background: The Pop3SessionLog accumulates the raw protocol conversation — the commands Chilkat sent and the server's replies — which is invaluable for diagnosing connection or authentication problems. When performing many operations on one MailMan object, the log grows continuously; ClearPop3SessionLog resets it so you can capture just the exchange for the next operation.

*  Demonstrates the MailMan.ClearPop3SessionLog method, which clears the current contents of
*  the Pop3SessionLog property.

loMailman = CreateObject('Chilkat.MailMan')

*  Configure the POP3 server connection.
loMailman.MailHost = "pop.example.com"
loMailman.MailPort = 995
loMailman.PopSsl = 1
loMailman.PopUsername = "user@example.com"
loMailman.PopPassword = "myPassword"

*  Perform a POP3 operation, which populates the session log.
lnCount = loMailman.GetMailboxCount()
? "Mailbox count: " + STR(lnCount)

*  Clear the POP3 session log (for example, before the next operation).
loMailman.ClearPop3SessionLog()

? "POP3 session log cleared."

*  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.
