local mailman = chilkat.MailMan.new()

mailman.mail_host = "pop.example.com"

mailman.pop_username = "myLogin"
mailman.pop_password = "myPassword"

mailman.mail_port = 995
mailman.pop_ssl = true

local stUidls = chilkat.StringTable.new()
local success = mailman:fetch_uidls(stUidls)
if not success then
    print(mailman.last_error_text)
    return
end

-- Download each email as MIME.
local bdMime = chilkat.BinData.new()

local count = stUidls.count
local i = 0
while i < count do
    success = mailman:fetch_mime_bd(stUidls:string_at(i), bdMime)
    if not success then
        print(mailman.last_error_text)
        return
    end

    -- Do whatever is needed with the MIME contained in bdMime.

    i = i + 1
