DESCRIPTION¶
push retrieves mail from the post office box
po-box, and stores the mail in mbox format in
filename. The
po-box can have any of the following formats:
- ‘
hostname:username’
- ‘
po:hostname:username’
- ‘
username@hostname’
- ‘
po:username@hostname’
- ‘
hostname’
- ‘
po:username’
If no username is specified,
push assumes
that it's the same as on the local machine;
hostname defaults to the value of the
MAILHOST environment variable.
Supported options:
-5,
--krb5- use Kerberos 5 (if compiled with support for Kerberos 5)
-f,
--fork- fork before starting to delete messages
-l,
--leave- don't delete fetched mail
--from- behave like from.
-c,
--count- first print how many messages and bytes there are.
--headers=headers- a list of comma-separated headers that should get printed.
-p
port-spec,
-
-port=port-spec- use this port instead of the default
‘
kpop’ or
‘1109’.
The default is to first try Kerberos 5 authentication and then, if that fails,
Kerberos 4.
ENVIRONMENT¶
MAILHOST- points to the post office, if no other hostname is specified.
EXAMPLES¶
$ push cornfield:roosta ~/.emacs-mail-crash-box
tries to fetch mail for the user
roosta from
the post office at “cornfield”, and stores the mail in
~/.emacs-mail-crash-box (you are using
Gnus, aren't you?)
$ push --from -5 havregryn
tries to fetch
From: lines for current user at post
office “havregryn” using Kerberos 5.

pfrom(1),

popper(8)
HISTORY¶
push was written while waiting for
movemail to finish getting the mail.
