Title:      |||| Telneting To Get Your(?) EMail ||||

If you are at someone else's computer and want to check your mail, but you don't want to make
a new mail-box in their e-mail program, there is a quick way to get it through telnet.  This is 
also useful if you have been mail-bombed, for you can delete the messages before downloading 
them.

Step #1: Connect to your Pop3 mail server through port 110 (in the RUN box, 
         type "telnet mail.yourmailserver.com 110")

Step #2: Type 'user rootwurm' where rootwurm is your e-mail username (eg rootwurm@yourmailserver.com).
         It should come back with, "+OK password required for user rootwurm" or someshit like 
         that.

Step #3: Type 'pass password' where password is your e-mail password.  It should tell you how 
         many messages are waiting in your mailbox, or congrats, or something like that.

Step #4: Type 'list' to get a list of all the messages, they each will have a number beside them.

Step #5: Type 'retr #' where # is the number next to the message you want to read.  This will 
         allow you to read it, but it stays on the server.

Step #6: Remove any messages you don't want by typing 'dele #' where # is the number you want to
         delete.

Step #7: Disconnecting. IMPORTANT:::: you must type 'quit' before closing telnet or you may hang
         your mailbox. Trust me, it sucks to have that happen.




X-tra info:

after the 'retr' command, the mail gets marked with a -R or something.  whenever you go to get 
your email at your house, you will notice that it has already been read.  to keep it from looking
like it's already been read, type 'rset' before you quit to reset it back to the original way it
was.  this is useful for checking other people's email (which i am not condoneing :-P)
