6 # Author: David Ascher <david_ascher@brown.edu>
7 # [heavily stealing from nntplib.py]
8 # Updated: Piers Lauder <piers@cs.su.oz.au> [Jul '97]
9 # String method conversion and test jig improvements by ESR, February 2001.
10 # Added the POP3_SSL class. Methods loosely based on IMAP_SSL. Hector Urtubia <urtubia@mrbook.org> Aug 2003
12 # Example (see the test function at the end of this file)
14 # Imports
16 import re, socket

20 # Exception raised when an error or invalid response is received:
22 class error_proto(Exception): pass

36 class POP3:
38 """This class supports both the minimal and optional command sets.
39 Arguments can be strings or integers (where appropriate)
40 (e.g.: retr(1) and retr('1') both work equally well.
42 Minimal Command Set:
43 USER name user(name)
44 PASS string pass_(string)
45 STAT stat()
46 LIST [msg] list(msg = None)
47 RETR msg retr(msg)
48 DELE msg dele(msg)
49 NOOP noop()
50 RSET rset()
51 QUIT quit()
53 Optional Commands (some servers support these):
54 RPOP name rpop(name)
55 APOP name digest apop(name, digest)
56 TOP msg n top(msg, n)
57 UIDL [msg] uidl(msg = None)
59 Raises one exception: 'error_proto'.
61 Instantiate with:
62 POP3(hostname, port=110)
64 NB: the POP protocol locks the mailbox from user
65 authorization until QUIT, so be sure to get in, suck
66 the messages, and quit, each time you access the
67 mailbox.
69 POP is a line-based protocol, which means large mail
70 messages consume lots of python cycles reading them
71 line-by-line.
73 If it's available on your mail server, use IMAP4
74 instead, it doesn't suffer from the two problems
75 above.
