［笔记］POP3 协议详解

　　　最近做一个邮件分析的东东，要用到POP3的协议，于是学习了一下，下一篇将给出这个协议的PHP实现。

USER userid

This must be the first command after the connect. Supply your e-mail userid (not the full e-mail address). Example: USER john.smith

一看就知道，是提交用户名的

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

PASS password
This must be the next command after USER. Supply your e-mail password. The password may be case sensitive.

密码　，提交了这个，会导致连接状态发生变化，呵呵，变成可以执行以下命令的状态（当然是密码正确的情形下）

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

The following commands may be used as needed:（下面的命令可以根据需要来使用）

STAT
The response to this is: +OK #msgs #bytes Where #msgs is the number of messages in the mail box and #bytes is the total bytes used by all messages. Sample response: +OK 3 345910
查看连接状态，这个只是用来看连接状态的。

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

LIST
The response to this lists a line for each message with its number and size in bytes, ending with a period on a line by itself. Sample response:
+OK 3 messages
1 1205
2 305
3 344400
.

列出所有邮件

RETR msg#
This sends message number msg# to you (displays on the Telnet screen). You probably don't want to do this in Telnet (unless you have turned on Telnet logging). Example: RETR 2

用邮件标识符来查看该邮件的所有内容

TOP msg# #lines
This is an optional POP3 command. Not all POP3 servers support it. It lists the header for msg# and the first #lines of the message text. For example, TOP 1 0 would list just the headers for message 1, where as TOP 1 5 would list the headers and first 5 lines of the message text.

查看第Ｎ个邮件的前lines行

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

DELE msg#
This marks message number msg# for deletion from the server. This is the way to get rid a problem causing message. It is not actually deleted until the QUIT command is issued. If you lose the connection to the mail server before issuing the QUIT command, the server should not delete any messages. Example: DELE 3

删除邮件

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

RSET
This resets (unmarks) any messages previously marked for deletion in this session so that the QUIT command will not delete them.
重置

－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－－

QUIT
This deletes any messages marked for deletion, and then logs you off of the mail server. This is the last command to use. This does not disconnect you from the ISP, just the mailbox.

退出
