POP3.rset() Remove any deletion marks for the mailbox.

POP3.rpop(user) Use RPOP authentication (similar to UNIX r-commands) to log into POP3 server.

POP3.quit() Signoff: commit changes, unlock mailbox, drop connection.

POP3.pass_(password) Send password, response includes message count and mailbox size. Note: the mailbox on the server is locked until quit() is called.

POP3.noop() Do nothing. Might be used as a keep-alive.

POP3.getwelcome() Returns the greeting string sent by the POP3 server.

POP3.dele(which) Flag message number which for deletion. On most servers deletions are not actually performed until QUIT (the major exception is Eudora QPOP, which deliberately violates the RFCs by doing pending deletes on any disconnect).
