Download the Full Version of a Partial Email

See more POP3 Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.FetchFull method, which downloads the complete version of a header-only or partial Email and stores it in a second Email. The full result includes the complete body and any attachments, and the partial email must retain its UIDL. This example previews message 1 (headers only) and then downloads it in full.

    //  Note: Explicitly connecting/authenticating is optional.  Chilkat MailMan automatically
    //  connects and authenticates -- using the property settings above -- whenever a server
    //  operation requires it.  Calling the explicit connect/authenticate methods can still be
    //  helpful to determine whether a failure occurs while connecting or while authenticating.
