(http://www.intrafoundation.com/tcpclient.asp) to open a telnet session and
then issue the following commands...
USER userid
PASS password
STAT
And this will return something like
+OK 3 345910
Which tells you it is holding 3 messages and a total of 345910 bytes.
You can get other pop3 telnet command info here:
