Would anyone have any information on POP, the Post Office Protocol? All I've been able to find is the RFC (918). Have any vendors developed implementations of this?

Well, to start, there's three versions of the POP. They're described by RFC918 (v1), RFC937 (v2) RFC1081/1082 (v3). POP V1 is considered obsoleted by V2. POP V3 is also known as MH/POP. The MH user agent implements a POP3 client and server. -- John Romine

The paper called "MH: A Multifarious User Agent" has a page about POP and MH. There's TeX source to the paper in the MH6.6 distribution -- the papers/multifarious directory. According to that file, the paper was also published in "Computer Networks and ISDN Systems" 10(2), September, 1985. --Jerry Peek; Syracuse University Academic Computing Services; Syracuse, NY jdpeek@rodan.acs.syr.edu, JDPEEK@SUNRISE.BITNET +1 315 443-3995
