POP3 protocol

POP3 Vuser script functions emulate actions using the Post Office Protocol, POP3. Each function begins with a pop3 prefix. For detailed syntax information on these functions, see the Function Reference (select the relevant version).

In the following example, the pop3_retrieve function retrieves five messages from the POP3 server. 

Actions()
{
pop3_logon("Login", "
        URL=pop3://user0004t:my_pwd@techno.comp-int.com", 
        LAST);
// List all messages on the server and receive that value
totalMessages = pop3_list("POP3", LAST);
// Display the received value (It is also displayed by the pop3_list function)
lr_log_message("There are %d messages.\r\n\r\n", totalMessages);
// Retrieve 5 messages on the server without deleting them
pop3_retrieve("POP3", "RetrieveList=1:5", "DeleteMail=false", LAST);
pop3_logoff();
    return 1;
}

Note: When recording a login step in which an IP address was specified, the script saves the IP address instead of the host name.
