// 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.
var mailman = new CkMailMan();

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

// Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.PopUsername = "bob@example.com";
mailman.PopPassword = "****";

// Make sure the ImmediateDelete property is set (this is the default)
// If ImmediateDelete is not set, messages marked for deletion
// by the Delete* methods will not be deleted until the POP3
// connection is closed by calling Pop3EndSession.
mailman.ImmediateDelete = true;

// First, get all the UIDLs.
var stUidls = new CkStringTable();
success = mailman.FetchUidls(stUidls);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(mailman.LastErrorText);
    return;

// Next, delete them all.
success = mailman.DeleteUidlSet(stUidls);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(mailman.LastErrorText);
    return;

// We're done with the POP3 session, so it doesn't hurt to call this...
success = mailman.Pop3EndSession();
if (success == false) {
    console.log(mailman.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

console.log("Success.");
