Public Sub Close()

Dim instance As Pop
 
instance.Close()

public void Close()

public: void Close();

public:
void Close();

Sends a "DELE" command for each message marked for deletion, then a "QUIT" command, and waits until the server has closed the connection.

This method is necessary to gracefully end a POP session.

In this example, messages are retrieved with the Pop component then saved to disk.

C#

private void getMessages(object sender)
{
    //Connect and log into the account
    pop1.Connect();
    pop1.Authenticate(true, true);

    //Download all messages in the account and save them to disk with a unique name
    string messageFolder = Application.StartupPath + "\\messages";
    foreach (PopMessage popMessage in pop1.Messages)
    {
        popMessage.Get();
        popMessage.Message.Save(messageFolder + "\\" + popMessage.Id.ToString("D4") + ".eml");
    }

    //Gracefully logout of the session
    pop1.Close();
}

private void pop1_Progress(object sender, PopProgressEventArgs e)
{
    //Update progress bar as messages are received
    progressBar1.Value = (e.Final) ? 0 : (int)((e.Position * 100) / e.Length);
}

Visual Basic

Private Sub getMessages(ByVal sender As Object)
    'Connect and log into the account
    pop1.Connect()
    pop1.Authenticate(True, True)

    'Download all messages in the account and save them to disk with a unique name
    Dim messageFolder As String = Application.StartupPath & "\messages"
    For Each popMessage As PopMessage In pop1.Messages
        popMessage.Get()
        popMessage.Message.Save(messageFolder & "\" & popMessage.Id.ToString("D4") & ".eml")
    Next popMessage

    'Gracefully logout of the session
    pop1.Close()
End Sub

Private Sub pop1_Progress(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As PopProgressEventArgs) Handles pop1.Progress
    'Update progress bar as messages are received
    progressBar1.Value = If(e.Final, 0, CInt((e.Position * 100) \ e.Length))
End Sub
