Delete a POP3 Message via an Email Object

See more POP3 Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.DeleteEmail method, which deletes a POP3 message using the UIDL stored in the X-UIDL header of an Email object. The email must contain an X-UIDL header, which it does after being fetched from the server. This example fetches a message and then deletes it.

    success := false

    //  Demonstrates the MailMan.DeleteEmail method, which deletes a POP3 message using the UIDL
    //  stored in the X-UIDL header of an Email object.  The email must contain an X-UIDL header
    //  (as it does after being fetched from the server).

    mailman := chilkat.NewMailMan()

    //  Configure the POP3 server connection.
    mailman.SetMailHost("pop.example.com")
    mailman.SetMailPort(995)
    mailman.SetPopSsl(true)
    mailman.SetPopUsername("user@example.com")
    mailman.SetPopPassword("myPassword")

    //  Fetch a message (headers are enough; the X-UIDL header identifies it on the server).
    email := chilkat.NewEmail()

    success = mailman.FetchOne(true,0,1,email)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()
        email.DisposeEmail()
        return
    }

    //  Delete that message using its X-UIDL header.
    success = mailman.DeleteEmail(email)
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()
        email.DisposeEmail()
        return
    }

    //  Unless the ImmediateDelete property is set to true, the message is only marked for
    //  deletion.  End the POP3 session (which sends the QUIT command) to commit the deletion.
    success = mailman.Pop3EndSession()
    if success == false {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()
        email.DisposeEmail()
        return
    }

    fmt.Println("Deleted the email from the POP3 server.")

    //  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.

    email.DisposeEmail()
