NAME
     qmail-pop3d - distribute mail via POP

SYNOPSIS
     qmail-pop3d maildirname

DESCRIPTION
     qmail-pop3d lets a user read and delete his mail through the
     network.

     Mail is stored in a  maildir  called  maildirname,  normally
     Maildir, in the user's home directory.

     qmail-pop3d is normally  invoked  under  qmail-popup,  which
     reads a username and password, and /bin/checkpassword, which
     checks the password and sets up environment variables.

     qmail-pop3d has a 20-minute idle timeout.

     qmail-pop3d supports UIDL and TOP.

     qmail-pop3d appends an extra blank line to every message  to
     work around serious bugs in certain clients.

     qmail-pop3d is based on a program contributed by  Russ  Nel-
     son.
