SYNOPSIS

DESCRIPTION

       Each object which extends Mail::Transport::Receive implement a protocol which can get
       messages into your application.  The internals of each implementation can differ quite a
       lot, so have a look at each separate manual page as well.

       Current message receivers:

       •   Mail::Transport::POP3

           Implements the POP3 protocol.  See also Mail::Box::POP3.

DIAGNOSTICS

       Warning: Avoid program abuse: specify an absolute path for $exec.
           Specifying explicit locations for executables of email transfer agents should only be
           done with absolute file names, to avoid various pontential security problems.

       Warning: Executable $exec does not exist.
           The explicitly indicated mail transfer agent does not exists. The normal settings are
           used to find the correct location.

       Error: Package $package does not implement $method.
           Fatal error: the specific package (or one of its superclasses) does not implement this
           method where it should. This message means that some other related classes do
           implement this method however the class at hand does not.  Probably you should
           investigate this and probably inform the author of the package.
