     ppuusshh - fetch mail via POP

SSYYNNOOPPSSIISS
     ppuusshh [--44 | ----kkrrbb44] [--55 | ----kkrrbb55] [--vv | ----vveerrbboossee] [--ff | ----ffoorrkk] [--ll |
     ----lleeaavvee] [----ffrroomm] [--cc | ----ccoouunntt] [----hheeaaddeerrss=_h_e_a_d_e_r_s] [--pp _p_o_r_t_-_s_p_e_c |
     ----ppoorrtt=_p_o_r_t_-_s_p_e_c] _p_o_-_b_o_x _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e

DDEESSCCRRIIPPTTIIOONN
     ppuusshh retrieves mail from the post office box _p_o_-_b_o_x, and stores the mail
     in mbox format in _f_i_l_e_n_a_m_e. The _p_o_-_b_o_x can have any of the following for-
     mats:
           `hostname:username'
           `po:hostname:username'
           `username@hostname'
           `po:username@hostname'
           `hostname'
           `po:username'

     If no username is specified, ppuusshh assumes that it's the same as on the
     local machine; _h_o_s_t_n_a_m_e defaults to the value of the MAILHOST environment
     variable.

     Supported options:

     --44, ----kkrrbb44
             use Kerberos 4 (if compiled with support for Kerberos 4)

     --55, ----kkrrbb55
             use Kerberos 5 (if compiled with support for Kerberos 5)

     --ff, ----ffoorrkk
             fork before starting to delete messages

     --ll, ----lleeaavvee
             don't delete fetched mail

     ----ffrroomm  behave like from.

     --cc, ----ccoouunntt
             first print how many messages and bytes there are.

     ----hheeaaddeerrss=_h_e_a_d_e_r_s
             a list of comma-separated headers that should get printed.

     --pp _p_o_r_t_-_s_p_e_c, ----ppoorrtt=_p_o_r_t_-_s_p_e_c
             use this port instead of the default `kpop' or `1109'.

     The default is to first try Kerberos 5 authentication and then, if that
     fails, Kerberos 4.

     MAILHOST
             points to the post office, if no other hostname is specified.

EEXXAAMMPPLLEESS
           $ push cornfield:roosta ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box

     tries to fetch mail for the user _r_o_o_s_t_a from the post office at
     ``cornfield'', and stores the mail in _~_/_._e_m_a_c_s_-_m_a_i_l_-_c_r_a_s_h_-_b_o_x (you are
     using Gnus, aren't you?)

           $ push --from -5 havregryn

     tries to fetch FFrroomm:: lines for current user at post office ``havregryn''
     using Kerberos 5.
