#import <CkoMailMan.h>
#import <CkoJsonObject.h>

BOOL success = NO;

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

mailman.MailPort = [NSNumber numberWithInt:995];

//  If using OAuth2 authentication, leave the password empty.
mailman.PopPassword = @"";

//  Load our previously obtained OAuth2 access token.
//  See Getting a GMail POP3 OAuth2 Access Token
