Fetch a Range of POP3 Messages

See more POP3 Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.FetchRange method, which retrieves a range of messages from the POP3 mailbox and appends them to an EmailBundle. The arguments are keepOnServer, headersOnly, numBodyLines, a zero-based inclusive startIndex and endIndex, and the EmailBundle. This example fetches the first five messages.
