No messages in POP3 mailbox?

Question:
I am reading my POP3 mailbox by calling mailman.CopyMail. It returns a bundle object, but the bundle.MessageCount = 0. I know there are emails in the mailbox. What happened?

Answer:
The most common mistake is that you’re looking at your email using a program such as Outlook and your emails have already been downloaded and removed from the POP3 server. After calling CopyMail, check the contents of the mailman’s Pop3SessionLog property — it is a string that may be displayed in your application. You should see the entire conversation between POP3 client (the Chilkat email component) and the POP3 server, including the response from the POP3 server that indicates 0 messages in the mailbox.
