If you desire to do it manually, you can use telnet to connect to the
POP server.  Briefly, here is the commands required:

telnet pop.server.ipaddr 110
USER xxxxx
PASS yyyyy
STAT
LIST x
RETR x
DELE x
QUIT

where:
110 is the normal POP port
xxxxx is your userid on the server
yyyyy is your password
x is the msg in question

Lou
