Fetch a Range of POP3 Messages

See more POP3 Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.FetchRange method, which retrieves a range of messages from the POP3 mailbox and appends them to an EmailBundle. The arguments are keepOnServer, headersOnly, numBodyLines, a zero-based inclusive startIndex and endIndex, and the EmailBundle. This example fetches the first five messages.

//  Fetch the first 5 messages (indexes 0 through 4), full bodies, leaving them on the server.
//  keepOnServer=cktrue, headersOnly=ckfalse (fetch the entire message).
//  Note: numBodyLines only applies when headersOnly is 1 (it sets how many lines of the
//  body to include along with the headers).  When headersOnly is 0, the entire message
//  is fetched and numBodyLines is ignored.

//  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.
