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.
