Demonstrates connecting and authenticating to pop3.live.com. Make sure to enable POP3 access, as shown here:

Go

    success := false

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

    mailman := chilkat.NewMailMan()

    // Connection settings for pop3.live.com (or pop-mail.outlook.com, both should work)
    mailman.SetMailHost("pop-mail.outlook.com")
    mailman.SetMailHost("pop3.live.com")

    mailman.SetPopUsername("my_account@live.com")
    mailman.SetPopPassword("my_live.com_password")
    mailman.SetMailPort(995)
    mailman.SetPopSsl(true)

    // Make the TLS connection to the POP3 server.
    success = mailman.Pop3Connect()
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()
        return
    }

    // Authenticate..
    success = mailman.Pop3Authenticate()
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()
        return
    }

    // Find out how many emails are on the server..
    numEmails := mailman.CheckMail()
    if numEmails < 0 {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()
        return
    }

    // Examine the POP3 session log:
    fmt.Println(mailman.Pop3SessionLog())

    // End the POP3 session and close the connection to the POP3 server.
    success = mailman.Pop3EndSession()
    if success != true {
        fmt.Println(mailman.LastErrorText())
        mailman.DisposeMailMan()
        return
