Re[2]: 4.1.1.5 TOP vs RETR
Hello Thomas, Friday, March 13, 2009, 19:18:51, you wrote: I never understood this one. Reading the RFC, I am no wiser about TOP versus RETR. Can somebody kindly explain to me what I would need this for? TOP returns first N lines of a message, but if N is very large, it will return the whole message as in case with RETR. We have added this feature because there are some freemail servers (mostly webmail-based) that always delete (or mark as read) a message after RETR, but don't do that after TOP. -- Best regards, Maxim Masiutin Ritlabs SRL http://www.ritlabs.com/ Current beta is 4.1.11.7 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

There are some servers (not quite usual) that remove a message that have been retrieved by RETR, so if you will get it from one computer , you will be unable to also get it on another. This option allows messages to be retrieved from multiple computers from that non-usual servers. -- Best regards, Maxim Masiutinmailto:m...@ritlabs.com Current beta is 4.1.1.5 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
