A POP 3 client for AmigaDOS.
.description
AmiPOP@ is a POP3 Client for AmigaDOS.  It was written directly from
the POP3 RFC (RFC #1225). AmiPOP is only a simple transport mechanism
for moving electronic mail messages between a POP-Host, typically
a mainframe, and your local AmigaDOS system.  The advantage of POP
over other transports such as SMTP is that all E-mail can still be
directed to the mainframe system.  This is of primary importance when
either a dialup line is used, which has a new IP address for each
connection, or when a user uses many machines, and wishes to be able
to transparently read mail on all of them.

AmiPOP features:
	· AUISG compliant (or at least it tries to be!)
	· Makes heavy use of 2.0 (and higher) functions such as ReadArgs,
	  utility.library, GadTools, and 2.0 functions in Amiga.lib.
	· Written from RFC 1225, not a port of a Unix or a PC application.
	· Small code size, and low system resource usage.
	· Commodities interface
