17 \fIpopi\fR is an interactive program that implements the client side
18 of the Post Office Protocol (version 3).
21 \fIpopi\fR establishes a POP connection,
22 and enters a command loop.
23 The user may type most of the normal POP commands,
24 with a couple of additions:
25 The commands that \fIpop\fR currently supports are:
49 The \fIretr\fR command retrieves a message into the folder specified
51 The \fIscan\fR command downloads an MH format-string to the server
52 (as determined from the `\-form\ formatfile' and `\-format switches),
53 so that future invocations of the \fIlist\fR command will include a
55 The \fIquit\fR command terminates \fIpopi\fR,
56 as does typing CTRL\-D.
59 The `\-host\ host' switch specifies the POP server to use.
60 If the `\-user\ user' switch is not given,
61 then the current username is used.
63 \fIpopi\fR will prompt for a password to use.
65 if the `\-apop' switch is given,
66 \fIpopi\fR will generate authentication credentials to provide
67 for origin authentication and replay protection,
68 but which do not involve sending a password in the clear over the network.
70 if the `\-rpop' switch is given,
71 then \fIpopi\fR will try to use a \*(lqtrusted\*(rq connection
72 (ala the BSD r-commands).
74 ^$HOME/\&.mh\(ruprofile~^The user profile
75 ^/opt/mh-6.8.5/lib/mtstailor~^tailor file
77 ^Path:~^To determine the user's MH directory
79 ^Msg\-Protect:~^To set mode when creating a new `file'
83 `+folder' defaults to \*(lqinbox\*(rq
89 `\-format' defaulted as described above
91 `\-width' defaulted to the width of the terminal
93 The folder into which messages are being incorporated will become the
95 The current message is unchanged.
97 The argument to the `\-format' switch must be interpreted as a single token
98 by the shell that invokes \fIinc\fR.
100 one must usually place the argument to this switch inside double\-quotes.
