If Mr Rooney or someone else is willing, I would love to hear a talk (and demo?) of using telnet to the pop port and other ports to do fancy trickery.
If someone is willing to point me to a good tutorial I'll learn it myself and give the talk mid 2003, if I get around to learning it. I have managed to send emails by telneting to a smtp port and typing HELO etc. yuri Thus spake Helmut Walle on this Fri, 22 Nov 2002 : ] On Fri, 22 Nov 2002, Wayne Rooney wrote: ] ... ] >> You can get some of the benefits of IMAP from POP3 by using telnet.
