POP3 SSL - Read POP3 Email over TLS/SSL on Port 995

Demonstrates how to connect via TLS/SSL to a POP3 server and read email. This assumes that the POP3 server supports SSL. CkPython

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

# The mailman object is used for receiving (POP3) 
# and sending (SMTP) email.
mailman = chilkat.CkMailMan()

# Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.put_MailHost("pop.gmail.com")

# Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.put_PopUsername("****@gmail.com")
mailman.put_PopPassword("****")

# Indicate that we want TLS/SSL.  Also, set the port to 995:
mailman.put_MailPort(995)
mailman.put_PopSsl(True)
