Hi Guy and all Rubyists,

Thank you very much for all the help. For me, it is not very convenient to 
use net/pop in this client application. However I also tried that one. The 
result is failure. Please refer to the following code:

irb(main):001:0> require 'net/pop'
=> true
irb(main):002:0> Net::POP3.start('127.0.0.1', 110, 
'xrfang@172.18.2.1','xrfang') { |pop|
irb(main):003:1* if pop.mails.empty?
irb(main):004:2> puts 'no mail.'
irb(main):005:2> else
irb(main):006:2* i=0
irb(main):007:2> pop.each_mail do |m|
irb(main):008:3* puts m.pop
irb(main):009:3> m.delete
irb(main):010:3> i += 1
irb(main):011:3> end
irb(main):012:2> puts "#{pop.mails.size} mails popped."
irb(main):013:2> end
irb(main):014:1> }

I don't know what on earth is it doing :-((((

thanks!
