;;; Overview ==============================================================
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; The POP3 protocol allows access to email on a maildrop server. It
|
|
||||||
;; is often used in configurations where users connect from a client
|
|
||||||
;; machine which doesn't have a permanent network connection or isn't
|
|
||||||
;; always turned on, situations which make local SMTP delivery
|
|
||||||
;; impossible. It is the most common form of email access provided by
|
|
||||||
;; Internet Service Providers.
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; Two types of authentication are commonly used. The first, most
|
|
||||||
;; basic type involves sending a user's password in clear over the
|
|
||||||
;; network, and should be avoided. Unfortunately many POP3 clients
|
|
||||||
;; only implement this basic authentication. The digest authentication
|
|
||||||
;; system involves the server sending the client a "challenge" token;
|
|
||||||
;; the client encodes this token with the pass phrase and sends the
|
|
||||||
;; coded information to the server. This method avoids sending
|
|
||||||
;; sensitive information over the network.
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; Once connected, a client may request information about the number
|
|
||||||
;; and size of the messages waiting on the server, download selected
|
|
||||||
;; messages (either their headers or the entire content), and delete
|
|
||||||
;; selected messages.

;;; Entry points =======================================================
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; (pop3-connect [host logfile]) -> connection
|
|
||||||
;; Connect to the maildrop server named HOST. Optionally log the
|
|
||||||
;; conversation with the server to LOGFILE, which will be appended
|
|
||||||
;; to if it exists, and created otherwise. The environment variable
|
|
||||||
;; MAILHOST, if set, will override the value of HOST.
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; (pop3-login connection [login password]) -> status
|
|
||||||
;; Log in to the mailhost. If a login and password are not
|
|
||||||
;; provided, they are first searched for in the user's ~/.netrc
|
|
||||||
;; file. USER/PASS authentication will be tried first, and if this
|
|
||||||
;; fails, APOP authentication will be tried.
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; (pop3-login/APOP connection login password) -> status
|
|
||||||
;; Log in to the mailhost using APOP authentication.
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; (pop3-stat connection) -> integer x integer
|
|
||||||
;; Return the number of messages and the number of bytes waiting in
|
|
||||||
;; the maildrop.
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; (pop3-get connection msgid) -> status
|
|
||||||
;; Download message number MSGID from the mailhost. MSGID must be
|
|
||||||
;; positive and less than the number of messages returned by the
|
|
||||||
;; pop3-stat call. The message contents are sent to
|
|
||||||
;; (current-output-port).
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; (pop3-headers connection msgid) -> status
|
|
||||||
;; Download the headers of message number MSGID. The data is sent
|
|
||||||
;; to (current-output-port).
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; (pop3-last connection) -> integer
|
|
||||||
;; Return the highest accessed message-id number for the current
|
|
||||||
;; session. This isn't in the RFC, but seems to be supported by
|
|
||||||
;; several servers.
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; (pop3-delete connection msgid) -> status
|
|
||||||
;; Mark message number MSGID for deletion. The message will not be
|
|
||||||
;; deleted until the client logs out.
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; (pop3-reset connection) -> status
|
|
||||||
;; Any messages which have been marked for deletion are unmarked.
|
|
||||||
;;
|
|
||||||
;; (pop3-quit connection) -> status
|
|
||||||
;; Close the connection with the mailhost.
