[erlang-questions] POP3 client library

[Johan Bevemyr]

There is a POP3 client in the yaws mail application 
(yaws/applications/mail/src/mail.erl).
It  contains code for decoding emails (parsing headers and body, 
unpacking attachments
and decoding), and a simple SMTP client for sending emails with 
attachments. I've found it useful
in a number of applications. The down side is that the code is 
undocumented :-)

A typical POP3 request is done as follows. To list all emails do

    mail:list(Server, User, Password)

and to retreive an email do

    mail:retr(Server, User, Password, Nr).

Once you've got the message you can use the various parse functions to 
process
the email. Sending an email is done though the smtp:send(Server, From, 
To, Subject, Message,
Attachments) function.

Regards,
/Johan
