In its default mode of operation, it retrieves mails from one or
63
65
more POP3 mailboxes, optionally does some filtering, and delivers them
64
through a mail delivery agent (MDA) or to maildir folders or mbox
65
files. Mails that were successfully delivered before will not be
66
retrieved a second time, even if errors occur or mpop is terminated in
67
the middle of a session.
66
through a mail delivery agent (MDA) or to maildir folders, mbox files,
67
or Exchange pickup directories. Mails that were successfully delivered
68
before will not be retrieved a second time, even if errors occur or
69
mpop is terminated in the middle of a session.

The best way to start is probably to have a look at the Examples
70
72
section. *Note Examples::.
86
88
Supported features include:
87
89
* Header based mail filtering: filter junk mail before downloading it
89
* Delivery to mbox files, maildir folders or a mail delivery agent
91
* Delivery to maildir folders, mbox files, Exchange pickup
92
directories, or a mail delivery agent (MDA)
92
94
* Very fast POP3 implementation, using command pipelining
307
309
Deliver the mails to the given file in mbox format. The file
308
310
will be locked with `fcntl(2)'. mpop uses the MBOXRD mbox
309
311
format variant; see the documentation of the mbox format.
313
* delivery exchange DIRECTORY
314
Deliver the mails to the given Exchange pickup directory. The
315
directory must exist.
310
316
If the delivery method needs to parse the mail headers for an
311
317
envelope from address (the mda method if the command contains
312
318
`%F', and the mbox method), then it needs to create a temporary
341
347
(unless the keep command is used, in which case they will just be
342
348
skipped). The size argument must be zero or greater. If it is
343
349
followed by a 'k' or an 'm', the size is measured in
344
kilobytes/megabytes instead of bytes. Note that some POP3 servers
350
kibibytes/mebibytes instead of bytes. Note that some POP3 servers
345
351
report slightly incorrect sizes for mails. *Note Filtering::.
346
352
When `killsize' is set to 0 and `keep' is set to on, then all mails
347
353
are marked as retrieved, but no mail gets deleted from the server.
351
357
`skipsize (off|SIZE)'
352
358
Mails larger than the given size will be skipped (not downloaded).
353
359
The size argument must be zero or greater. If it is followed by a
354
'k' or an 'm', the size is measured in kilobytes/megabytes instead
360
'k' or an 'm', the size is measured in kibibytes/mebibytes instead
355
361
of bytes. Note that some POP3 servers report slightly incorrect
356
362
sizes for mails. *Note Filtering::.
