(JavaScript) POP3 Login Secure

Demonstrates how to set the POP3 password using a secure string.

This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.71 or greater.

Note

This example is intended for running within a Chilkat.Js embedded JavaScript engine. All Chilkat JavaScript examples require Chilkat v11.4.0 or greater.

var success = false;

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

// Imagine we've previously saved our encrypted login and password within a JSON config file
// that contains this:

// {
//   "pop3_login": "D7lnlWY291LKMeChlvQq7N/Tg7ieuSB15a+9Ekyd0R4=",
//   "pop3_password": "5neIq9Jmn0E3p71N6Yc8TA=="
// }
