SSL Authentication using Net::POP3

[Jon]

Hello

I am trying to find a perl module that allows me to retrieve my email
from a server that requires SSL authentication. I am currently using
Net::POP3 and I tried all the different types of logging in such as
auth(..), login(..), and apop(..) which are sub routines defined in
Net::POP3.

None worked

Thanks

How about Mail::POP3Client?

[url]http://search.cpan.org/~sdowd/Mail-POP3Client-2.17/POP3Client.pm[/url]

It will need IO::Socket::SSL (which in turn will need Net::SSLeay) for
SSL authentication to work.

use Mail::POP3Client;

$pop = Mail::POP3Client->new(USER => 'TheFakeJon@gmail.com',
PASSWORD => $passwd,
HOST => 'pop.gmail.com',
USESSL => true,
);
print "You have ", $pop->Count, " messages\n";

I hope this helps,

Tim
