Imap.GetMailSize vs Email.Size

Shows how to get the total size of an email, as well as the sizes of the attachments. This can be done when either full-emails or headers-only are downloaded. Go

    success := false

    // This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
    // See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

    // Use TLS
    imap.SetSsl(true)

    // When downloading headers, each email object contains
    // (obviously) the headers, but the body will be missing.
    // Attachments will not be included.  However, it is
    // possible to get information about the attachments
    // as well as the complete size of the email.
    bundle := chilkat.NewEmailBundle()

        // When a full email is downloaded, we would use the
        // email.NumAttachments property in conjunction with the
        // email.GetMailAttach* methods.
        // However, when an email object contains only the header,
        // we need to access the attachment info differently:
