Description

Mail::POP3Client implements an Object Oriented interface to a POP3 server using RFC1939. It is quite easy to use.

Why use MAIL::POP3Client?

  • You want to easily access a POP3 server with Perl.

    Why NOT use Mail::POP3Client?

  • You are accessing an IMAP server :-).

    Example

    use Mail::POP3Client;
$pop = new Mail::POP3Client( USER     => "me",
                             PASSWORD => "mypassword",
                             HOST     => "pop3.do.main" );
for( $i = 1; $i <= $pop->Count(); $i++ ) {
   foreach( $pop->Head( $i ) ) {
      /^(From|Subject):\s+/i && print $_, "\n";
   }
}
$pop->Close();

    Personal Notes

    MAIL::POP3Client is the module I used when writing pemail, a command line MUA. I found the module to be very intuitive and straightforward. Writing pemail and using this module are what really got me into Perl programming. I highly recommend this module for any programs that require POP3 server access.
