Rust Requires Chilkat v11.1.0+

Delete All Email in a POP3 Mailbox

Delete all email in a POP3 mailbox. Rust

// This example assumes 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.
let mailman = chilkat::MailMan::new();

// Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.set_mail_host("pop.example.com");

// Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.set_pop_username("bob@example.com");
mailman.set_pop_password("****");

// Make sure the ImmediateDelete property is set (this is the default)
// If ImmediateDelete is not set, messages marked for deletion
// by the Delete* methods will not be deleted until the POP3
// connection is closed by calling Pop3EndSession.
mailman.set_immediate_delete(true);

// First, get all the UIDLs.
let st_uidls = chilkat::StringTable::new();
if mailman.fetch_uidls(&st_uidls).is_err() {
    println!("{}", mailman.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// Next, delete them all.
if mailman.delete_uidl_set(&st_uidls).is_err() {
    println!("{}", mailman.last_error_text());
    return;
}

// We're done with the POP3 session, so it doesn't hurt to call this...
if mailman.pop3_end_session().is_err() {
    println!("{}", mailman.last_error_text());
    return;
}

println!("Success.");
