func main() {
	pop, err := pop3.Connect("mail.pop3.com:110", nil, false)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf(err.Error())
	}

	fmt.Println(pop.GreetingMsg())  // Message starts with "+OK"
	fmt.Println(pop.IsAuthorized()) // true
	fmt.Println(pop.IsEncrypted())  // false

	// USER command
	username := os.Getenv("POP3_USER") // Read from env
	u, err := pop.User(username)
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Println(u)

	// PASS command
	password := os.Getenv("POP3_PASSWORD") // Read from env

	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Println(pass)

	// STAT command
	stat, err := pop.Stat()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Println(stat)

	// LIST command
	l, _ := pop.List()
	if len(l) == 0 {
		fmt.Println(l)
	}

	// LIST <mail-num> command
	ll, _ := pop.List(1)
	fmt.Println(ll[0])
	
	// TOP msgNum n 
	top, _ := pop.Top(1, 10)
	fmt.Println(top)

	// DELE command
	dele, err := pop.Dele("1")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Println(dele)

	// RETR command 
	retr, err := pop.Retr("1")
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf(err.Error())
	}
	for _, m := range retr {
		fmt.Println(m)
	}

	// NOOP command
	noop, err := pop.Noop()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Println(noop)

	// RSET command
	rset, err := pop.Rset()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Println(rset)

	// QUIT state
	q, err := pop.Quit()
	if err != nil {
		log.Fatalf(err.Error())
	}
	fmt.Println(q) // Prints: "QUIT"
}

Run & Test

Note: If you run the tests, you firstly need to have a GMail account that enables POP3 connections. Also, you have to save mail address and password in your local environment.

If you make changes, make sure that all tests are passed. You can run the tests with the following command.

go test pop3/* -v 

If you want to run only one test, you can type the following command.

go test pop3/* -v -run <test_function_name>

Example:

go test pop3/* -v -run TestStat
