you can write everything on one line:
mailbox: open pop://srad:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
so the general usage of one line expressions as above is
scheme://username:[EMAIL PROTECTED]
so you have now your mailbox-open. To see what's going on, try first:
trace/net: true
now you can do things as:
length? mailbox
print first mailbox
print last mailbox
print mailbox/3 ; to print third message for e.g.
msg: import-email mailbox/3
print msg/name
print msg/content
print msg/from
or you can see what is all header about by:
print mold system/standard/email
remove mailbox ; will not remove mailbox, but member on current index
position, so for better readability you can use
remove at mailbox 3 ; will remove third message
clear mailbox ; will delete all your messages
close mailbox ; will close your connection
It's very easy. Just look at some email handling examples at www.rebol.com
script library and examples
