var success = false;

// This example requires 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";
mailman.PopPassword = "myPassword";

// First, get the complete set of UIDLs for the email in the POP3 mailbox:
var stUidls = new CkStringTable();
success = mailman.FetchUidls(stUidls);
if (success == false) {
    console.log(mailman.LastErrorText);
    return;
}

// Download each email as MIME.
// If desired, the MIME can be loaded into an email object.
var bdMime = new CkBinData();
var email = new CkEmail();

var count = stUidls.Count;
var i = 0;
while (i < count) {
    success = mailman.FetchMimeBd(stUidls.StringAt(i),bdMime);
    if (success == false) {
        console.log(mailman.LastErrorText);
        return;
    }

    email.SetFromMimeBd(bdMime);
    console.log("From: " + email.From);
    console.log("Subject: " + email.Subject);

    i = i+1;
