// 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 = "myLogin";

// Set the ImmediateDelete property = false
// When the DeleteEmail method is called, the POP3 session
// will remain open and the emails will be deleted all at once
// when the session closes.
mailman.ImmediateDelete = false;

// Download email headers.
