usage: popclient configname [savefile]

The popclient application can be used to communicate with another host using the Post Office Protocol version 3 (POP3) as defined in RFC1939. POP3 is used to retrieve and manipulate a remote eMail folder.

The configuration is stored in a file with the configname extended by ".p3". The format of the configuration file is shown in the following example:

192.168.0.33 # address of server
dumbo # login used on this server
4711 # password

The IPaddrss of the server must be known in digits! Popclient accepts the name of an optional savefile at the commandline. If a savefile is specified the "get" command can be used to retrieve eMails that are stored in a local file (savefile).
