Short Description:
!POP is a POP3 mail transport for use with Freenet/Acorn TCP/IP. It will
fetch e-mail from one or more POP mailboxes and can also send outgoing
e-mail (using SMTP).
POP is only a transport - unless you are a massochist you will also need
some mail management/reading software. Newsbase and TTFN are recommended.
!POP stores its mailboxes in standard formats, so other packages may work.
Features:
* Almost everything is set up from dialogue boxes
* Can check mail for multiple users & hosts
* Mail can be left on the server (useful for checking
'work' email from home)
* Messages over a certain length can be trapped and skipped or just the
message
header downloaded. The full message can be fetched or deleted later.
* Runs largely in 'background' mode and doesn't lock up your machine
while waiting for the server to respond.
* Includes links to Newsbase.
