##
11.9.2 POP3 Example

Here is a minimal example (without error checking) that opens a mailbox and retrieves and prints all messages:

    import getpass, poplib

    M = poplib.POP3('localhost')
    M.user(getpass.getuser())
    M.pass_(getpass.getpass())
    numMessages = len(M.list()[1])
    for i in range(numMessages):
        for j in M.retr(i+1)[1]:
            print j

At the end of the module, there is a test section that contains a more extensive example of usage.
