Popping a Mailbox On-the-Fly

Python's poplib module provides more than a sophisticated, high-level interface to the POP3 protocol. It also provides a way for you to pop POP3 mailboxes on-the-fly. Using poplib and getpass, you can pop any POP3 mailbox anywhere, then manage it, archive it, and close it with just a couple piece of information. See "Retrieving POP3 Email with poplib" for how.
