Publisher's description of POP3Test

From Darren Woodford:

Simple command line utility to test connection to your POP3 server. This program will attempt to open a network connection to your POP3 Server whether it be over the internet or on your LAN. No need to conduct a clumsy TELNET session. Simply type POP3Test hostname or POP3Test IP address at the command line.

Editor's review of POP3Test

• 4.0 stars

• "POP3Test"

• Reviewed by: CNET Staff
• Version reviewed: POP3Test 1

This small and simple utility quickly checks the availability of any POP3 server, but can't test your specific account. POP3Test is a DOS command that doesn't have a Windows interface. It's still simple to use as you merely need to execute it in a command window. Supply the name of your POP3 server, and almost immediately you'll see whether your POP3 server is available. POP3Test helpfully checks whether your e-mail is failing due to a downed server or to your e-mail application. What POP3Test can't do is check your account login and password; that feature is available only for registered users. Anyone comfortable using DOS commands will find this an easy application to operate, useful for all those who depend on e-mail.

  Version: POP3Test 1

  "Great Product"

  on November 10, 2004

  Summary: Functionality that should be in windows. Does what port scanners don't. Actually tests login to POP3. It can also be scripted or put in batch files. Very responsive support.
  
  IMAPTest would be a good next effort.
