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=$true, headersOnly=$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.

#  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.
