"""A POP3 client class. Based on the J. Myers POP3 draft, Jan. 96 """ # Author: David Ascher # [heavily stealing from nntplib.py] # Updated: Piers Lauder [Jul '97] # String method conversion and test jig improvements by ESR, February 2001. # Added the POP3_SSL class. Methods loosely based on IMAP_SSL. Hector Urtubia Aug 2003 # Example (see the test function at the end of this file) # Imports import re, socket __all__ = ["POP3","error_proto"] # Exception raised when an error or invalid response is received: class error_proto(Exception): pass # Standard Port POP3_PORT = 110 # POP SSL PORT POP3_SSL_PORT = 995 # Line terminators (we always output CRLF, but accept any of CRLF, LFCR, LF) CR = b'\r' LF = b'\n' CRLF = CR+LF class POP3: """This class supports both the minimal and optional command sets. Arguments can be strings or integers (where appropriate) (e.g.: retr(1) and retr('1') both work equally well. Minimal Command Set: USER name user(name) PASS string pass_(string) STAT stat() LIST [msg] list(msg = None) RETR msg retr(msg) DELE msg dele(msg) NOOP noop() RSET rset() QUIT quit() Optional Commands (some servers support these): RPOP name rpop(name) APOP name digest apop(name, digest) TOP msg n top(msg, n) UIDL [msg] uidl(msg = None) Raises one exception: 'error_proto'. Instantiate with: POP3(hostname, port=110) NB: the POP protocol locks the mailbox from user authorization until QUIT, so be sure to get in, suck the messages, and quit, each time you access the mailbox. POP is a line-based protocol, which means large mail messages consume lots of python cycles reading them line-by-line. If it's available on your mail server, use IMAP4 instead, it doesn't suffer from the two problems above.
