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.

Dim mailman As New Chilkat.MailMan

'  Configure the POP3 server connection.
mailman.MailHost = "pop.example.com"
mailman.MailPort = 995
mailman.PopSsl = True
mailman.PopUsername = "user@example.com"
mailman.PopPassword = "myPassword"

'  Perform a POP3 operation, which populates the session log.
Dim count As Integer = mailman.GetMailboxCount()
Debug.WriteLine("Mailbox count: " & count)

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

Debug.WriteLine("POP3 session log cleared.")

'  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.
