Read-Me for RXPOP 1.0
=====================
Contents: Overview - Usage - History - Requirements - License - Author
Overview:
---------
RXPOP means REXX-Utils for POP-Mailing and enables to check a POP
account and automatically download messages.
Usage:
------
* ChkPOP.cmd <POP-Server> <User-ID> <Passwort>
ChkPOP means "Check POP" and checks if there are messages in your POP
mailbox. If there are some ones, the size of each message is told to
you.
* GetPOP.cmd <POP-Server> <User-ID> <Passwort> <File-Mask>
GetPOP means "Get POP mail" and downloads your mails and deletes them
on the POP-Server.
If File-Mask is a real mask (should contain up to 4 '?' so that
SysTempFileName can calculate enough filenames), each message is stored
in a single file that meets the given filemask.
If File-Mask names a certain file (existing or not), the mails are
appended to this file.
* PollPOP.cmd
PollPOP means "Poll the POP-server" and is just an example how to force
your system to download POP-mails automatically. It basically calls
GetPOP.cmd in certain intervals. But:
!!! This file has to be maintained by each user to work for him/she !!!
This can easily be done with any text editor. You just put your data in
the line where GetPOP.cmd is called.
History:
--------
1.0 First Release
1.1 Better error handling in case of wrong username or password
1.2 Fixes for real RFC compatibility
Appends to one file if a filename is given instead of a filemask
Requirements:
-------------
Of course, REXX and TCP/IP has to be installed. Also, a connection to your
POP server must be possible.
Further, the RXSock-Package is needed that is EWS-Ware (Employee Written
Software, IBM) done by Patrick Mueller. I think it is part of the Warp IAK
and of Warp Connect's TCP/IP 3.0.
License:
--------
From my point of view, this package is absolut Freeware.
If you like it, feel free to mail me or to send money :-))
Freeware means that you may do anything you want, but: You may NOT get
money for this packages except usual time-dependent online charges.
Further, my scripts are based on one from Patrick Mueller, so his copyrights
and the usual EWS terms has also to be fulfilled.
