== POP Overview ==
;POP
:Post Office Protocol : Application layer internet standard protocol that uses TCP/IP. Currently, version 3 is the standard.

Testing from a command line interface provides a virtually guaranteed way of confirming basic requirements for a successfully connection. Observations and responses observed come directly from the mail server rather than trying to interpret an application's translation of the scenario. Keep in mind that testing from a command line is generally in '''plain text''', which is '''insecure''', unless you use a connect application such as openssl<br\>
<br\>
While much easier to test from a Linux terminal, it is possible to test from a windows command prompt, however, keep in mind that Windows does not allow you to backspace or delete any mistakes that you make. While unconfirmed, based on behavior it appears that Windows actively submits every keystroke to the mail server rather than waiting for "return".<br\>
