use chilkat();

$mailman = chilkat::CkMailMan->new();

# ...
# ...

$uidl = "123";

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# The FetchEmail method is deprecated:

# emailObj is a Email
$emailObj = $mailman->FetchEmail($uidl);
if ($mailman->get_LastMethodSuccess() == 0) {
    print $mailman->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
    exit;
}

# ...
# ...

# ------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Do the equivalent using FetchByUidl.
# Your application creates a new, empty Email object which is passed 
# in the last argument and filled upon success.

$headerOnly = 0;
# Irrelevant because we are not downloading headers-only.
$numBodyLines = 0;

$emailOut = chilkat::CkEmail->new();

if ($success == 0) {
    print $mailman->lastErrorText() . "\r\n";
