| 07 Apr 2002 | Programming Kludged together a quickstart guide to email through telnet from this story on slashdot.org (From comments by xQx, carm$y$) telnet [your mail server] [port - usually 110 for POP3] USER [username] PASS [password] Once you're in: STAT gives you number of messages and total size LIST gives you a list of your messages RETR [message number] to read a message HEAD [message number] [bytes] (I couldn't get this to work on BT's mailserver but I assume it gives you the first part of a message) DELE [message number] deletes the message permanently And when you're done: QUIT You can also send email via telnet |
