PopOver ------- PopOver is a program designed to retrieve your mail from remote mail hosts. It is most useful in a situation where: * An organization has a centralized mail server * You are not directly connected to a network * You're in a mixed network and want to use NeXTmail The remote mail hosts can be any machine which provides POP3, POP2, or IMAP2 services. If you don't know if your mail hosts provide any of these services, contact your system administrator. PopOver is an extremely easy to use and well tested mail client that can be used to retrieve your mail. It works independently of what mail reader you use; it simply retrieves your mail. The good news about this is that you can use NeXTmail, with the ease and convenience of Mail.app. For people who use SLIP, or people that are familiar with cron jobs, a Unix command-line interface is provided to simply retrieve your mail with a single command. Extensive help information is available through the NEXTSTEP 3.x interface. PopOver has been well tested on several different mail servers. Great detail has gone into locking and re-entrance, as well as compliance with various RFCs. PopOver will only delete mail messages on remote hosts that are retrieved properly (or will leave them. See the help panels for more information). Since PopOver was originally designed for users of low-speed modem connections, this is extremely valuable if there is a transmission error. PopOver does not require root privilege to use, and should NOT be run suid. It can be dragged into ~/Apps or /LocalApps, and the Unix command line version can be placed in ~/bin, or /usr/local/bin. I sincerely hope that this program proves useful. -jason jfosback@eidolonsoftware.com http://www.eidolonsoftware.com/
