def __init__(self): (source)

Issue deprecation warning.

def sendShort(self, command, params=None): (source)

Send a POP3 command to which a short response is expected.

ParameterscommandA POP3 command. (type: bytes)
paramsCommand arguments. (type: stringifyable object or None)
def sendLong(self, command, params): (source)

Send a POP3 command to which a long response is expected.

ParameterscommandA POP3 command. (type: bytes)
paramsCommand arguments. (type: stringifyable object)
def handle_default(self, line): (source)

Handle responses from the server for which no other handler exists.

ParameterslineA received line. (type: bytes)
def handle_WELCOME(self, line): (source)

Handle a server response which is expected to be a server greeting.

ParameterslineA received line. (type: bytes)
def _dispatch(self, command, default, *args): (source)

Dispatch a response from the server for handling.

Command X is dispatched to handle_X() if it exists. If not, it is dispatched to the default handler.

ParameterscommandThe command. (type: bytes)
defaultThe default handler. (type: callable that takes bytes or None)
argsArguments to the handler function. (type: tuple or None)
def lineReceived(self, line): (source)
overrides twisted.protocols.basic.LineOnlyReceiver.lineReceived

Dispatch a received line for processing.

The choice of function to handle the received line is based on the type of response expected to the command sent to the server and how much of that response has been received.

An expected one line response to command X is handled by handle_X(). The first line of a multi-line response to command X is also handled by handle_X(). Subsequent lines of the multi-line response are handled by handle_X_continue() except for the last line which is handled by handle_X_end().

ParameterslineA received line. (type: bytes)
def apopAuthenticate(self, user, password, magic): (source)

Perform an authenticated login.

ParametersuserThe username with which to log in. (type: bytes)
passwordThe password with which to log in. (type: bytes)
magicThe challenge provided by the server. (type: bytes)
def apop(self, user, digest): (source)

Send an APOP command to perform authenticated login.

ParametersuserThe username with which to log in. (type: bytes)
digestThe challenge response with which to authenticate. (type: bytes)
def retr(self, i): (source)

Send a RETR command to retrieve a message from the server.

ParametersiA 0-based message index. (type: int or bytes)
def dele(self, i): (source)

Send a DELE command to delete a message from the server.

ParametersiA 0-based message index. (type: int or bytes)
def list(self, i=''): (source)

Send a LIST command to retrieve the size of a message or, if no message is specified, the sizes of all messages.

ParametersiA 0-based message index or the empty string to specify all messages. (type: int or bytes)
def uidl(self, i=''): (source)

Send a UIDL command to retrieve the unique identifier of a message or, if no message is specified, the unique identifiers of all messages.

ParametersiA 0-based message index or the empty string to specify all messages. (type: int or bytes)
def user(self, name): (source)

Send a USER command to perform the first half of a plaintext login.

ParametersnameThe username with which to log in. (type: bytes)
def pass_(self, pass_): (source)

Perform the second half of a plaintext login.

Parameterspass_The plaintext password with which to authenticate. (type: bytes)
def quit(self): (source)
