POP3 using HTTP Proxy
Demonstrates how to communicate with a POP3 server through an HTTP proxy.Chilkat Rust Downloads
// 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();
// To connect through an HTTP proxy, set the HttpProxyHostname
// and HttpProxyPort properties to the hostname (or IP address)
// and port of the HTTP proxy. Typical port numbers used by
// HTTP proxy servers are 3128 and 8080.
mailman.set_http_proxy_hostname("www.my-http-proxy.com");
mailman.set_http_proxy_port(3128);
// Important: Your HTTP proxy server must allow non-HTTP
// traffic to pass. Otherwise this does not work.
// Set the POP3 server's hostname
mailman.set_mail_host("pop.example.com");
// Set the POP3 login/password.
mailman.set_pop_username("myLogin");
mailman.set_pop_password("myPassword");
// Copy the all email from the user's POP3 mailbox
// into a bundle object. The email remains on the server.
//
// NOTE: All methods that communicate with a POP3 server
// will automatically connect and authenticate (i.e. login)
// if not already connected. The connection will remain
// open after the method call returns so that subsequent
// calls do not need to re-establish the connection.
// In this case, the connection is established via the HTTP
// proxy.
