Note that this mailbox <name>, like all DOS filenames, is limited to eight characters. Also, < name> does NOT include a DOS path; all mail is placed in SPOOL/MAIL, along with other mail placed there by SMTP. The POP client does not write directly to the user's mailbox. Instead it creates a file MBOX. POP in the current directory and places all of the mail it receives in that file. On completion it appends the contents of the file to the end of the mailbox when all mail has been collected from the mailbox server. Normally this file is deleted after its contents have been transferred to the mailbox. However, if the POP client is unable to access the mailbox (for example, if it is locked by SMTP), then MBOX . POP will remain in existence. Any new mail gathered by the POP client will be appended to the end of MBOX .POP. Then eventually when the mailbox becomes available the contents of MBOX . POP will be transferred to it. pop mailhost [<host>] Display or set the the POP server host. pop kick Force the POP client to check with the remote POP server. pop quiet Display or set the POP quiet flag. This flag determines whether the bell sounds when the system announces that incoming mail has arrived. When quiet is set to 'off' you hear the bell. pop timer Display or Set the interval for POP sessions. pop userdata Display or set the user data required by the POP server to validate the client's mail request. Note that <name> and <password> are case sensitive. When only 'pop userdata' is entered to show the values, only the <name> is shown.
