# Example (see the test function at the end of this file)

TESTSERVER = "localhost"
TESTACCOUNT = "test"
TESTPASSWORD = "_passwd_"

# Imports

from types import StringType
import regex
import socket
import string

# Exception raised when an error or invalid response is received:
error_proto = 'pop3.error_proto'	 # response does not begin with +

# Standard Port
POP3_PORT = 110

# Line terminators (we always output CRLF, but accept any of CRLF, CR, LF)
CRLF = '\r\n'

# This library supports both the minimal and optional command sets:
# Arguments can be strings or integers (where appropriate)
# (e.g.: retr(1) and retr('1') both work equally well.
#
# Minimal Command Set:
#	 USER name				user(name)
#	 PASS string				pass_(string)
#	 STAT					stat()
#	 LIST [msg]				list(msg = None)
#	 RETR msg				retr(msg)
#	 DELE msg				dele(msg)
#	 NOOP					noop()
#	 RSET					rset()
#	 QUIT					quit()
#
# Optional Commands (some servers support these)
#	 APOP name digest			apop(name, digest)
#	 TOP msg n				top(msg, n)
#	 UIDL [msg]				uidl(msg = None)
#
