21 \fIpopi\fR is an interactive program that implements the client side
|
|
|
22 of the Post Office Protocol (version 3).
|
|
|
23
|
|
|
24 When invoked,
|
|
|
25 \fIpopi\fR establishes a POP connection,
|
|
|
26 and enters a command loop.
|
|
|
27 The user may type most of the normal POP commands,
|
|
|
28 with a couple of additions:
|
|
|
29 The commands that \fIpop\fR currently supports are:

57 The \fIretr\fR command retrieves a message into the folder specified
|
|
|
58 on the command line.
|
|
|
59 The \fIscan\fR command downloads an MH format-string to the server
|
|
|
60 (as determined from the `\-form\ formatfile' and `\-format switches),
|
|
|
61 so that future invocations of the \fIlist\fR command will include a
|
|
|
62 scan listing.
|
|
|
63 The \fIquit\fR command terminates \fIpopi\fR,
|
|
|
64 as does typing CTRL\-D.
|
|
|
65
|
|
|
66 @BEGIN: BPOP
|
|
|
67 The \fImsh\fR command invokes the \fImshproc\fR.
|
|
|
68 To override the default \fImshproc\fR and the profile entry,
|
|
|
69 use the `\-mshproc\ program' switch.
|
|
|
70 The `\-auto' switch causes \fIpopi\fR to invoke the \fImshproc\fR directly,
|
|
|
71 and thence terminate when the \fImshproc\fR terminates.
|
|
|
72 @END: BPOP
|
|
|

|
|
|
74 The `\-host\ host' switch specifies the POP server to use.
|
|
|
75 If the `\-user\ user' switch is not given,
|
|
|
76 then the current username is used.
|
|
|
77 Normally,
|
|
|
78 \fIpopi\fR will prompt for a password to use.
|
|
|
79 However,
|
|
|
80 if the `\-apop' switch is given,
|
|
|
81 \fIpopi\fR will generate authentication credentials to provide
|
|
|
82 for origin authentication and replay protection,
|
|
|
83 but which do not involve sending a password in the clear over the network.
|
|
|
84 Otherwise,
|
|
|
85 if the `\-rpop' switch is given,
|
|
|
86 then \fIpopi\fR will try to use a \*(lqtrusted\*(rq connection
|
|
|
87 (ala the BSD r-commands).

120 The argument to the `\-format' switch must be interpreted as a single token
|
|
|
121 by the shell that invokes \fIinc\fR.
|
|
|
122 Therefore,
|
|
|
123 one must usually place the argument to this switch inside double\-quotes.
