If you're like me you sometimes find yourself without
an
email client. This wouldn't be a problem if I
had a
web based email account, but I don't so
I must
Telnet to my
POP server. (port 110 normally)
Your client must use
CRLF as its
\n
These are the commands:
USER uid - login as UID
PASS passwd - the password for UID
STAT - get the status of your account
LIST - list the messages in your account
RETR n - retrieve message n
DELE n - tag message n for deletion
RSET - clear changes to your account
QUIT - Quit
