how to check for new mail using perl??
- Thread starter kwi
- Start date
if you do:
#!/usr/local/bin/perl
use Mail:
OP3Client;
$pop = new Mail:OP3Client( USER => "me",
PASSWORD => "mypassword",
HOST => "pop3.do.main" );
for ($i = 1; $i <= $pop->Count(); $i++) {
foreach ( $pop->HeadAndBody( $i ) ) {
print $_, "\n"; # and then save it somewhere
Delete($i);
}
print "\n";
that will retreive and delete all messages in the mailbox, next time you look there will be inly new emails in there Mike
