[9fans] reading email from POP3 server

[William Staniewicz]

How can I download my mail from my ISP's POP3 server and hand it off to the Plan 9 mail
programs to save in my local mailbox? Is there a program or method to do this?

Currently, I dial in to my ISP; Have a dynamic ip address; Don't have
an ethernet address.

I have read ...
ndb(6), listen(8), mail(1) and smtpd(6)
Getting Started With Plan 9 (sections: Reading mail; Sending mail)
Last 12 months of 9fans archives
... but not sure which direction to take with this.

Any ideas?

Bill

 http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/rsc/pop3get.c is the right page and Russ

more how to hack it.

http://plan9.bell-labs.com/cm/cs/who/rsc/pop3get.c
(or was it rsc/plan9/pop3get.c?) is a pop3 downloader
I wrote long ago but which shouldn't be hard to 
adapt to the new system.

I hope to get pop3 support into upas/fs at some
point, but I've been doing other things.  If you
want a hacked upas/fs that can talk pop3 send me mail.
