    POP3 only has about 10 functions or so.

    Check on the web (?Microsot Knowledge base etc.) for what these commands might be.

    In general, they are all text sent and received.

    If you can do a TelNet to port 110 (I think it is, but if not try port 25), then you should be able to use POP3.

    Cheers, Chris

    POP3 is 110, SMTP is 25.
