  #
  # == What is This Library?
  #
  # This library provides functionality for retrieving
  # email via POP3, the Post Office Protocol version 3. For details
  # of POP3, see [RFC1939] (http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc1939.txt).
  #
  # == Examples
  #
  # === Retrieving Messages
  #
  # This example retrieves messages from the server and deletes them
  # on the server.
  #
  # Messages are written to files named 'inbox/1', 'inbox/2', ....
  # Replace 'pop.example.com' with your POP3 server address, and
  # 'YourAccount' and 'YourPassword' with the appropriate account
  # details.
  #
  #     require 'net/pop'
  #
  #     pop = Net::POP3.new('pop.example.com')
  #     pop.start('YourAccount', 'YourPassword')             # (1)
  #     if pop.mails.empty?
  #       puts 'No mail.'
  #     else
  #       i = 0
  #       pop.each_mail do |m|   # or "pop.mails.each ..."   # (2)
  #         File.open("inbox/#{i}", 'w') do |f|
  #           f.write m.pop
  #         end
  #         m.delete
  #         i += 1
  #       end
  #       puts "#{pop.mails.size} mails popped."
  #     end
  #     pop.finish                                           # (3)
  #
  # 1. Call Net::POP3#start and start POP session.
  # 2. Access messages by using POP3#each_mail and/or POP3#mails.
  # 3. Close POP session by calling POP3#finish or use the block form of #start.
  #
  # === Shortened Code
  #
  # The example above is very verbose. You can shorten the code by using
  # some utility methods. First, the block form of Net::POP3.start can
  # be used instead of POP3.new, POP3#start and POP3#finish.
  #
  #     require 'net/pop'
  #
  #     Net::POP3.start('pop.example.com', 110,
  #                     'YourAccount', 'YourPassword') do |pop|
  #       if pop.mails.empty?
  #         puts 'No mail.'
  #       else
  #         i = 0
  #         pop.each_mail do |m|   # or "pop.mails.each ..."
  #           File.open("inbox/#{i}", 'w') do |f|
  #             f.write m.pop
  #           end
  #           m.delete
  #           i += 1
  #         end
  #         puts "#{pop.mails.size} mails popped."
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  # POP3#delete_all is an alternative for #each_mail and #delete.
  #
  #     require 'net/pop'
  #
  #     Net::POP3.start('pop.example.com', 110,
  #                     'YourAccount', 'YourPassword') do |pop|
  #       if pop.mails.empty?
  #         puts 'No mail.'
  #       else
  #         i = 1
  #         pop.delete_all do |m|
  #           File.open("inbox/#{i}", 'w') do |f|
  #             f.write m.pop
  #           end
  #           i += 1
  #         end
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  # And here is an even shorter example.
  #
  #     require 'net/pop'
  #
  #     i = 0
  #     Net::POP3.delete_all('pop.example.com', 110,
  #                          'YourAccount', 'YourPassword') do |m|
  #       File.open("inbox/#{i}", 'w') do |f|
  #         f.write m.pop
  #       end
  #       i += 1
  #     end
  #
  # === Memory Space Issues
  #
  # All the examples above get each message as one big string.
  # This example avoids this.
  #
  #     require 'net/pop'
  #
  #     i = 1
  #     Net::POP3.delete_all('pop.example.com', 110,
  #                          'YourAccount', 'YourPassword') do |m|
  #       File.open("inbox/#{i}", 'w') do |f|
  #         m.pop do |chunk|    # get a message little by little.
  #           f.write chunk
  #         end
  #         i += 1
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  # === Using APOP
  #
  # The net/pop library supports APOP authentication.
  # To use APOP, use the Net::APOP class instead of the Net::POP3 class.
  # You can use the utility method, Net::POP3.APOP(). For example:
  #
  #     require 'net/pop'
  #
  #     # Use APOP authentication if $isapop == true
  #     pop = Net::POP3.APOP($isapop).new('apop.example.com', 110)
  #     pop.start('YourAccount', 'YourPassword') do |pop|
  #       # Rest of the code is the same.
  #     end
  #
  # === Fetch Only Selected Mail Using 'UIDL' POP Command
  #
  # If your POP server provides UIDL functionality,
  # you can grab only selected mails from the POP server.
  # e.g.
  #
  #     def need_pop?( id )
  #       # determine if we need pop this mail...
  #     end
  #
  #     Net::POP3.start('pop.example.com', 110,
  #                     'Your account', 'Your password') do |pop|
  #       pop.mails.select { |m| need_pop?(m.unique_id) }.each do |m|
  #         do_something(m.pop)
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  # The POPMail#unique_id() method returns the unique-id of the message as a
  # String. Normally the unique-id is a hash of the message.
  #

    # Returns the APOP class if +isapop+ is true; otherwise, returns
    # the POP class.  For example:
    #
    #     # Example 1
    #     pop = Net::POP3::APOP($is_apop).new(addr, port)
    #
    #     # Example 2

    #
    def POP3.APOP(isapop)
      isapop ? APOP : POP3
    end

    # Starts a POP3 session and iterates over each POPMail object,
    # yielding it to the +block+.
    # This method is equivalent to:
    #
    #     Net::POP3.start(address, port, account, password) do |pop|
    #       pop.each_mail do |m|
    #         yield m
    #       end
    #     end
    #
    # This method raises a POPAuthenticationError if authentication fails.
    #
    # === Example
    #
    #     Net::POP3.foreach('pop.example.com', 110,
    #                       'YourAccount', 'YourPassword') do |m|
    #       file.write m.pop

      start(address, port, account, password, isapop) {|pop|

      }
    end

    # Starts a POP3 session and deletes all messages on the server.
    # If a block is given, each POPMail object is yielded to it before
    # being deleted.
    #
    # This method raises a POPAuthenticationError if authentication fails.
    #
    # === Example
    #
    #     Net::POP3.delete_all('pop.example.com', 110,
    #                          'YourAccount', 'YourPassword') do |m|

      }
    end

    # Opens a POP3 session, attempts authentication, and quits.
    #
    # This method raises POPAuthenticationError if authentication fails.
    #
    # === Example: normal POP3

    #                         'YourAccount', 'YourPassword')
    #
    # === Example: APOP
    #
    #     Net::POP3.auth_only('pop.example.com', 110,
    #                         'YourAccount', 'YourPassword', true)
