Fetchmail errors

[David A. Sinck]

\_ SMTP quoth Craig White on 10/22/2002 21:34 as having spake thusly:
\_
\_ just cuz I gotta ask
\_ 
\_ if I telnet to a pop3 server - I don't know how to disconnect. I've even
\_ had problems with control-c. Is there a command to quit the connection
\_ with the pop server...I know that there must be one.

the pop3 protocol keyword you're looking for is 'quit'.

there's an rfc someplace you could dig up, but the basic form looks
like

telnet foo 110
user mymailid
pass mymailpass
list
retr 1
dele 1
retr 34
dele 2
quit

YMMV.
