  • File Read-Gmail-POP.ps1 — part of check-in [d3734fe973] at 2018-06-10 13:21:59 on branch trunk — This script is a proof of concept. Further work needs to be done. It requires the user to enter a valid username and password for a gmail.com account. It then attempts to form an SSL connection with the server, and, retrieve the first email. Unfortunately it returns random results. Perhaps someone can improve upon it with some more sockets knowledge than I have. (user: Will Steele size: 4028)

	.DESCRIPTION
		This script is a proof of concept. Further work needs to be done.  It 
		requires the user to enter a valid username and password for a gmail.com 
		account.  It then attempts to form an SSL connection with the server, and, 
		retrieve the first email. Unfortunately it returns random results.  Perhaps 
		someone can improve upon it.

	.NOTES
		The script is further explored to find 'From' addressses in the link above.

		more suitable for real processing.
