1 :mod:`poplib` --- POP3 protocol client
5    :synopsis: POP3 protocol client (requires sockets).
9 .. index:: pair: POP3; protocol
15 This module defines a class, :class:`POP3`, which encapsulates a connection to a
16 POP3 server and implements the protocol as defined in :rfc:`1725`.  The
17 :class:`POP3` class supports both the minimal and optional command sets.
19 support for connecting to POP3 servers that use SSL as an underlying protocol
22 Note that POP3, though widely supported, is obsolescent.  The implementation
23 quality of POP3 servers varies widely, and too many are quite poor. If your
30 .. class:: POP3(host[, port[, timeout]])
32    This class implements the actual POP3 protocol.  The connection is created when
33    the instance is initialized. If *port* is omitted, the standard POP3 port (110)
44    This is a subclass of :class:`POP3` that connects to the server over an SSL
45    encrypted socket.  If *port* is not specified, 995, the standard POP3-over-SSL

74 POP3 Objects
77 All POP3 commands are represented by methods of the same name, in lower-case;
80 An :class:`POP3` instance has the following methods:
83 .. method:: POP3.set_debuglevel(level)
92 .. method:: POP3.getwelcome()
94    Returns the greeting string sent by the POP3 server.
97 .. method:: POP3.user(username)
102 .. method:: POP3.pass_(password)
108 .. method:: POP3.apop(user, secret)
110    Use the more secure APOP authentication to log into the POP3 server.
113 .. method:: POP3.rpop(user)
115    Use RPOP authentication (similar to UNIX r-commands) to log into POP3 server.
118 .. method:: POP3.stat()
124 .. method:: POP3.list([which])
130 .. method:: POP3.retr(which)
136 .. method:: POP3.dele(which)
143 .. method:: POP3.rset()
148 .. method:: POP3.noop()
153 .. method:: POP3.quit()
158 .. method:: POP3.top(which, howmuch)
164    The POP3 TOP command this method uses, unlike the RETR command, doesn't set the
167    POP3 servers you will use before trusting it.
170 .. method:: POP3.uidl([which])
