NAME

       qmail-pop3d - distribute mail via POP

SYNOPSIS

       qmail-pop3d maildirname

DESCRIPTION

       qmail-pop3d lets a user read and delete his mail through the network.

       Mail is stored in a maildir called maildirname, normally Maildir, in the user's home directory.

       qmail-pop3d   is   normally  invoked  under  qmail-popup,  which  reads  a  username  and  password,  and
       /bin/checkpassword, which checks the password and sets up environment variables.

       qmail-pop3d has a 20-minute idle timeout.

       qmail-pop3d supports UIDL, TOP, and LAST.

       qmail-pop3d appends an extra blank line to every message to work around serious bugs in certain clients.

       qmail-pop3d is based on a program contributed by Russ Nelson.
