Parameters

index
Type: SystemInt32

callback
Type: SystemAsyncCallback
The AsyncCallback delegate. You can leave it a null reference (Nothing in Visual Basic) if you do not use callbacks.
state

Examples
This WinForms sample demonstrates asynchronous flagging the last message for deletion and use of a callback function.
// To use the code below, import MailBee namespaces at the top of your code.
using MailBee;
using MailBee.Pop3Mail;

// Put the code below inside your class.

// A callback function.
private void DeleteMessageCallback(IAsyncResult result)
{
    Pop3 pop = (Pop3)result.AsyncState;
    pop.EndDeleteMessage();
    MessageBox.Show("Last message flagged as deleted");
}

// The actual code.
private void Form1_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e)
{
    Pop3 pop = new Pop3();

    // Let MailBee process events.
    pop.RaiseEventsViaMessageLoop = false;

    pop.Connect("pop.somehost.com");
    pop.Login("jdoe", "secret");

    // Initiate an asynchronous deletion attempt.
    pop.BeginDeleteMessage(pop.InboxMessageCount, _
        new AsyncCallback(DeleteMessageCallback), pop);

    // Simulate some lengthy work here...
    for (int i = 0; i < 100; i++)
    {
        // Make a portion of the work.
        System.Threading.Thread.Sleep(10);

        // Process events which were raised during execution of the work above.
        pop.Wait(0);
    }

    // If flagging the message is still in progress, wait until it's done.
    pop.Wait();

    // Disconnect from the server.
    pop.Disconnect();
}
