libspopc is a simple and light pop3 mail client library used by small programs. One of the libspopc's purposes is to help developpers to host easily a pop3 mail client in their programs.

libspopc support also SSL encrypted connections (with libssl and libcrypt available at the openssl website), but it can also be built without SSL support if you prefer.

libspopc provides an easy to learn session interface, but provides also a classical socket-level interface for those who prefer to manage a socket rather than a session structure. I encourage you to use the session-level interface.

Requirements:
GNU C library

Here are some key features of "libspopc":
very small, easy to embedd
very easy to code with
encrypted connection support (can be disabled)
very few dependancies
highly portable
fully reentrant (say 'thread-safe')
free software

What's New in This Release:
A bugfix for SSL.
Avoids connection timeouts (for gmail.com).
The ssl_verify_cert_chain() dependancy has been removed (should work on Win32).
