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

// To use a SOCKS4 or SOCKS5 proxy, simply set the following
// properties prior to making any calls that communicate with
// a POP3 server:
// The SOCKS hostname may be a domain name or 
// IP address:
mailman.set_socks_hostname("www.mysocksproxyserver.com");
mailman.set_socks_port(1080);
mailman.set_socks_username("myProxyLogin");
mailman.set_socks_password("myProxyPassword");
// Set the SOCKS version to 4 or 5 based on the version
// of the SOCKS proxy server:
mailman.set_socks_version(5);
// Note: SOCKS4 servers only support usernames without passwords.
// SOCKS5 servers support full login/password authentication.

// 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.
let bundle = chilkat::EmailBundle::new();
let keep_on_server = true;
let headers_only = false;
// Irrelevent because we are NOT downloading headers-only
let num_body_lines = 0;
if mailman.fetch_all(keep_on_server, headers_only, num_body_lines, &bundle).is_err() {
    println!("{}", mailman.last_error_text());
    return;
}

let email = chilkat::Email::new();
let mut i = 0;
while i < bundle.message_count() {
    let _ = bundle.email_at(i, &email);

    println!("From: {}", email.from());
    println!("Subject: {}", email.subject());
    i = i + 1;
}

let _ = mailman.pop3_end_session();
