    ' Create a mailman
    set mailman = Server.CreateObject("ChilkatWebMail.WebMailMan")

    ' Unlock the component - use your trial or purchased unlock code.
    mailman.UnlockComponent "unlock_code"

    ' Tell the mailman where to get mail, and the login/password
    mailman.MailHost = "mail.chilkatsoft.com"
    mailman.PopUsername = "username"
    mailman.PopPassword = "password"

    ' Only fetch messages matching this filter.
    mailman.Filter = "subject contains ""Herbal Viagra"""

    ' Copy the mail without removing it from the server.
    ' If TransferMail is called instead of CopyMail, the messages returned
    ' in the mailBundle are automatically removed from the POP3 server,
    ' and DeleteEmail does not have to be called.  This example simply
    ' demonstrates how to call DeleteEmail. 
    Set mailBundle = mailman.CopyMail

        For i = 0 To mailBundle.messageCount - 1
    
            Set email = mailBundle.GetEmail(i)
        
            Response.write "<br>" & i & "<br>"
            Response.write "<b>UIDL:</b> " & Server.HTMLEncode(email.Uidl) & "<br>"
            Response.write "<b>From:</b> " & Server.HTMLEncode(email.From) & "<br>"
            Response.write "<b>Subject:</b> " & Server.HTMLEncode(email.Subject) & "<br>"
			        
            ' Remove the email from the server.
            mailman.DeleteEmail email
            Response.write "<br><b>DELETED</b>
            Set email = Nothing
        Next
