SessionID is int
SessionID = EmailStartNotesSession("Password", "MarsServer", ...
"email/julia.nsf", "C:\Lotus Notes\julia.id")
...
// Find the emails containing "PC Soft"
// in the message subject or body
// Only the incoming emails are taken into account
IF EmailSeekFirst(SessionID, emailSubject + emailBody, ...
"PC Soft", notesReceived) = True THEN
// Enumerate the emails found
WHILE Email.Out = False
// Displays the sender and subject in a Table control
TableAdd(TABLE_EmailFound, Email.Sender + ...
TAB + Email.Subject)
// Next email found
EmailReadNext(SessionID)
END
