I agree with you. After telneting the script remains inactive. I tried a
solution given by somebody in this list to solve my problem. I tried to
telnet to server, it didn't click. I did telnet to POP3 server and
entered for USER and PASS. It did work. Even LIST and TOP 1 10 also
worked. Is the commands for all pop servers are same?

As said earlier I don't any commands. Just a try. I will be thankful If
I can get them.
