Clear the POP3 Session Log

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.ClearPop3SessionLog method, which clears the current contents of the Pop3SessionLog property. This example performs a POP3 operation (which populates the log) and then clears it.

Background: The Pop3SessionLog accumulates the raw protocol conversation — the commands Chilkat sent and the server's replies — which is invaluable for diagnosing connection or authentication problems. When performing many operations on one MailMan object, the log grows continuously; ClearPop3SessionLog resets it so you can capture just the exchange for the next operation.

#  Demonstrates the MailMan.ClearPop3SessionLog method, which clears the current contents of
#  the Pop3SessionLog property.

mailman = Chilkat::CkMailMan.new()

#  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")

#  Perform a POP3 operation, which populates the session log.
count = mailman.GetMailboxCount()
print "Mailbox count: " + count.to_s() + "\n";

#  Clear the POP3 session log (for example, before the next operation).
mailman.ClearPop3SessionLog()

print "POP3 session log cleared." + "\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.
