SYNOPSIS

       qmail-pop3d maildirname

DESCRIPTION

       qmail-pop3d lets	a user read and	delete his mail	through	the network.

       Mail  is	 stored	 in a maildir called maildirname, normally Maildir, in
       the user's home directory.

       qmail-pop3d is normally invoked under qmail-popup, which	reads a	 user-
       name  and  password, and	/bin/qmail-authuser, which checks the password
       and sets	up environment variables.

       qmail-pop3d has a 20-minute idle	timeout.

       qmail-pop3d supports TOP, USER, UIDL, STLS, and LAST.

       qmail-pop3d appends an extra blank line to every	message	to work	around
       serious bugs in certain clients.

       qmail-pop3d is based on a program contributed by	Russ Nelson.
