I was wondering if anyone knew how to send email via pop3 using either the command line or powershell?

Thanks

All I know of are GETMAIL and BLAT, and GETMAIL does POP3... If you find something better I'd be interested as well; in fact any CLI applications you know of as I perfer them in many cases over GUI for a slew of reasons (that I won't post here as someone will take exception to every one).

You send Email via SMTP not POP3.

Now, while it ain't real easy, you can send Email via telnet in a standard Windows command prompt. Just do a Google search on "Send Email via telnet" for how.

I frequently use this method when troubleshooting mail server issues.
