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.

//  Demonstrates the 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, startIndex, endIndex, and the EmailBundle.  The indexes are
//  zero-based and inclusive.

$mailman = new CkMailMan();

//  Configure the POP3 server connection.
$mailman->put_MailHost('pop.example.com');
$mailman->put_MailPort(995);
$mailman->put_PopSsl(true);
$mailman->put_PopUsername('user@example.com');
$mailman->put_PopPassword('myPassword');

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

$success = $mailman->FetchRange(true,false,0,0,4,$bundle);
if ($success == false) {
    print $mailman->lastErrorText() . "\n";
    exit;
}

$n = $bundle->get_MessageCount();
print 'Fetched ' . $n . ' messages.' . "\n";

$email = new CkEmail();

for ($i = 0; $i <= $n - 1; $i++) {
    $success = $bundle->EmailAt($i,$email);
    print $email->subject() . "\n";
}

//  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.
