Once authenticated you may issue any POP3 command by simply typing it in. It is capable of multiple SASL authentication mechanisms and handles encryption layers transparently. This utility is often used for testing the operation of a pop3 server. Also those developing POP3 clients find it useful.</p> </td> </table> <a name="OPTIONS"></a> <h2>OPTIONS</h2> <!-- INDENTATION --> <table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void" cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="10%"></td> <td width="89%"> <p><b>−t</b> <i>keyfile</i></p></td> </table> <!-- INDENTATION --> <table width="100%" border=0 rules="none" frame="void" cols="2" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr valign="top" align="left"> <td width="21%"></td> <td width="77%"> <p>Enable TLS. <i>keyfile</i> contains the TLS public and private keys.
