Fetch One POP3 Message by UIDL

See more POP3 Examples

Demonstrates the Chilkat MailMan.FetchByUidl method, which retrieves one message by UIDL and stores it in an Email object. The arguments are the UIDL, headerOnly, numBodyLines, and the Email. The message remains on the POP3 server. This example fetches a specific message by its UIDL.

Dim success As Boolean
success = False

//  Demonstrates the MailMan.FetchByUidl method, which retrieves one message by UIDL and
//  stores it in an Email object.  The arguments are the UIDL, headerOnly, numBodyLines, and
//  the Email.  The message remains on the server.

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"

//  Fetch a specific message by UIDL in full.  headerOnly=0 (fetch the entire message).
//  Note: numBodyLines only applies when headersOnly is 1 (it sets how many lines of the
//  body to include along with the headers).  When headersOnly is 0, the entire message
//  is fetched and numBodyLines is ignored.
Dim email As New Chilkat.Email

success = mailman.FetchByUidl("0000000123abcdef",False,0,email)
If (success = False) Then
    System.DebugLog(mailman.LastErrorText)
    Return
End If

System.DebugLog("Subject: " + email.Subject)

//  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.
