+.SH DESCRIPTION
+.IX Header "DESCRIPTION"
+This module implements a client interface to the POP3 protocol, enabling
+a perl5 application to talk to POP3 servers. This documentation assumes
+that you are familiar with the POP3 protocol described in RFC1939.
+With IO::Socket::SSL installed it also provides support for implicit and
+explicit TLS encryption, i.e. POP3S or POP3+STARTTLS.
+.PP
+A new Net::POP3 object must be created with the \fInew\fR method. Once
+this has been done, all POP3 commands are accessed via method calls
+on the object.
+.PP
+The Net::POP3 class is a subclass of Net::Cmd and (depending on avaibility) of
+IO::Socket::IP, IO::Socket::INET6 or IO::Socket::INET.
+.SS "Class Methods"
+.IX Subsection "Class Methods"
+.ie n .IP """new([$host][, %options])""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWnew([$host][, %options])\fR" 4
+.IX Item "new([$host][, %options])"
+This is the constructor for a new Net::POP3 object. \f(CW$host\fR is the
+name of the remote host to which an POP3 connection is required.
+.Sp
+\&\f(CW$host\fR is optional. If \f(CW$host\fR is not given then it may instead be
+passed as the \f(CW\*(C`Host\*(C'\fR option described below. If neither is given then
+the \f(CW\*(C`POP3_Hosts\*(C'\fR specified in \f(CW\*(C`Net::Config\*(C'\fR will be used.
+.Sp
+\&\f(CW%options\fR are passed in a hash like fashion, using key and value pairs.
+Possible options are:
+.Sp
+\&\fBHost\fR \- POP3 host to connect to. It may be a single scalar, as defined for
+the \f(CW\*(C`PeerAddr\*(C'\fR option in IO::Socket::INET, or a reference to
+an array with hosts to try in turn. The "host" method will return the value
+which was used to connect to the host.
+.Sp
+\&\fBPort\fR \- port to connect to.
+Default \- 110 for plain POP3 and 995 for POP3s (direct SSL).
+.Sp
+\&\fBSSL\fR \- If the connection should be done from start with SSL, contrary to later
+upgrade with \f(CW\*(C`starttls\*(C'\fR.
+You can use SSL arguments as documented in IO::Socket::SSL, but it will
+usually use the right arguments already.
+.Sp
+\&\fBLocalAddr\fR and \fBLocalPort\fR \- These parameters are passed directly
+to IO::Socket to allow binding the socket to a specific local address and port.
+For compatibility with older versions \fBResvPort\fR can be used instead of
+\&\fBLocalPort\fR.
+.Sp
+\&\fBDomain\fR \- This parameter is passed directly to IO::Socket and makes it
+possible to enforce IPv4 connections even if IO::Socket::IP is used as super
+class. Alternatively \fBFamily\fR can be used.
+.Sp
+\&\fBTimeout\fR \- Maximum time, in seconds, to wait for a response from the
+POP3 server (default: 120)
+.Sp
+\&\fBDebug\fR \- Enable debugging information
+.SS "Object Methods"
+.IX Subsection "Object Methods"
+Unless otherwise stated all methods return either a \fItrue\fR or \fIfalse\fR
+value, with \fItrue\fR meaning that the operation was a success. When a method
+states that it returns a value, failure will be returned as \fIundef\fR or an
+empty list.
+.PP
+\&\f(CW\*(C`Net::POP3\*(C'\fR inherits from \f(CW\*(C`Net::Cmd\*(C'\fR so methods defined in \f(CW\*(C`Net::Cmd\*(C'\fR may
+be used to send commands to the remote POP3 server in addition to the methods
+documented here.
+.ie n .IP host() 4
+.el .IP \f(CWhost()\fR 4
+.IX Item "host()"
+Returns the value used by the constructor, and passed to IO::Socket::INET,
+to connect to the host.
+.ie n .IP """auth($username, $password)""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWauth($username, $password)\fR" 4
+.IX Item "auth($username, $password)"
+Attempt SASL authentication.
+.ie n .IP user($user) 4
+.el .IP \f(CWuser($user)\fR 4
+.IX Item "user($user)"
+Send the USER command.
+.ie n .IP pass($pass) 4
+.el .IP \f(CWpass($pass)\fR 4
+.IX Item "pass($pass)"
+Send the PASS command. Returns the number of messages in the mailbox.
+.ie n .IP """login([$user[, $pass]])""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWlogin([$user[, $pass]])\fR" 4
+.IX Item "login([$user[, $pass]])"
+Send both the USER and PASS commands. If \f(CW$pass\fR is not given the
+\&\f(CW\*(C`Net::POP3\*(C'\fR uses \f(CW\*(C`Net::Netrc\*(C'\fR to lookup the password using the host
+and username. If the username is not specified then the current user name
+will be used.
+.Sp
+Returns the number of messages in the mailbox. However if there are no
+messages on the server the string \f(CW"0E0"\fR will be returned. This is
+will give a true value in a boolean context, but zero in a numeric context.
+.Sp
+If there was an error authenticating the user then \fIundef\fR will be returned.
+.ie n .IP starttls(%sslargs) 4
+.el .IP \f(CWstarttls(%sslargs)\fR 4
+.IX Item "starttls(%sslargs)"
+Upgrade existing plain connection to SSL.
+You can use SSL arguments as documented in IO::Socket::SSL, but it will
+usually use the right arguments already.
+.ie n .IP """apop([$user[, $pass]])""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWapop([$user[, $pass]])\fR" 4
+.IX Item "apop([$user[, $pass]])"
+Authenticate with the server identifying as \f(CW$user\fR with password \f(CW$pass\fR.
+Similar to "login", but the password is not sent in clear text.
+.Sp
+To use this method you must have the Digest::MD5 or the MD5 module installed,
+otherwise this method will return \fIundef\fR.
+.ie n .IP banner() 4
+.el .IP \f(CWbanner()\fR 4
+.IX Item "banner()"
+Return the sever's connection banner
+.ie n .IP capa() 4
+.el .IP \f(CWcapa()\fR 4
+.IX Item "capa()"
+Return a reference to a hash of the capabilities of the server. APOP
+is added as a pseudo capability. Note that I've been unable to
+find a list of the standard capability values, and some appear to
+be multi-word and some are not. We make an attempt at intelligently
+parsing them, but it may not be correct.
+.ie n .IP capabilities() 4
+.el .IP \f(CWcapabilities()\fR 4
+.IX Item "capabilities()"
+Just like capa, but only uses a cache from the last time we asked
+the server, so as to avoid asking more than once.
+.ie n .IP """top($msgnum[, $numlines])""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWtop($msgnum[, $numlines])\fR" 4
+.IX Item "top($msgnum[, $numlines])"
+Get the header and the first \f(CW$numlines\fR of the body for the message
+\&\f(CW$msgnum\fR. Returns a reference to an array which contains the lines of text
+read from the server.
+.ie n .IP list([$msgnum]) 4
+.el .IP \f(CWlist([$msgnum])\fR 4
+.IX Item "list([$msgnum])"
+If called with an argument the \f(CW\*(C`list\*(C'\fR returns the size of the message
+in octets.
+.Sp
+If called without arguments a reference to a hash is returned. The
+keys will be the \f(CW$msgnum\fR's of all undeleted messages and the values will
+be their size in octets.
+.ie n .IP """get($msgnum[, $fh])""" 4
+.el .IP "\f(CWget($msgnum[, $fh])\fR" 4
+.IX Item "get($msgnum[, $fh])"
+Get the message \f(CW$msgnum\fR from the remote mailbox. If \f(CW$fh\fR is not given
+then get returns a reference to an array which contains the lines of
+text read from the server. If \f(CW$fh\fR is given then the lines returned
+from the server are printed to the filehandle \f(CW$fh\fR.
+.ie n .IP getfh($msgnum) 4
+.el .IP \f(CWgetfh($msgnum)\fR 4
+.IX Item "getfh($msgnum)"
+As per \fBget()\fR, but returns a tied filehandle. Reading from this
+filehandle returns the requested message. The filehandle will return
+EOF at the end of the message and should not be reused.
+.ie n .IP last() 4
+.el .IP \f(CWlast()\fR 4
+.IX Item "last()"
+Returns the highest \f(CW$msgnum\fR of all the messages accessed.
+.ie n .IP popstat() 4
+.el .IP \f(CWpopstat()\fR 4

+elements and the size of the mbox in octets.
+.ie n .IP ping($user) 4
+.el .IP \f(CWping($user)\fR 4
+.IX Item "ping($user)"
+Returns a list of two elements. These are the number of new messages
+and the total number of messages for \f(CW$user\fR.
+.ie n .IP uidl([$msgnum]) 4
+.el .IP \f(CWuidl([$msgnum])\fR 4
+.IX Item "uidl([$msgnum])"
+Returns a unique identifier for \f(CW$msgnum\fR if given. If \f(CW$msgnum\fR is not
+given \f(CW\*(C`uidl\*(C'\fR returns a reference to a hash where the keys are the
+message numbers and the values are the unique identifiers.
+.ie n .IP delete($msgnum) 4
+.el .IP \f(CWdelete($msgnum)\fR 4
+.IX Item "delete($msgnum)"
+Mark message \f(CW$msgnum\fR to be deleted from the remote mailbox. All messages
+that are marked to be deleted will be removed from the remote mailbox
+when the server connection closed.
+.ie n .IP reset() 4
+.el .IP \f(CWreset()\fR 4
+.IX Item "reset()"
+Reset the status of the remote POP3 server. This includes resetting the
+status of all messages to not be deleted.
+.ie n .IP quit() 4
+.el .IP \f(CWquit()\fR 4
+.IX Item "quit()"
+Quit and close the connection to the remote POP3 server. Any messages marked
+as deleted will be deleted from the remote mailbox.
+.ie n .IP can_inet6() 4
+.el .IP \f(CWcan_inet6()\fR 4
+.IX Item "can_inet6()"
+Returns whether we can use IPv6.
+.ie n .IP can_ssl() 4
+.el .IP \f(CWcan_ssl()\fR 4
+.IX Item "can_ssl()"
+Returns whether we can use SSL.
+.SS Notes
+.IX Subsection "Notes"
+If a \f(CW\*(C`Net::POP3\*(C'\fR object goes out of scope before \f(CW\*(C`quit\*(C'\fR method is called
+then the \f(CW\*(C`reset\*(C'\fR method will called before the connection is closed. This
+means that any messages marked to be deleted will not be.
