  "abstract": "This RFC suggests a simple method for workstations to dynamically access mail from a mailbox server.  The intent of the Post Office Protocol (POP) is to allow a user's workstation to access mail from a mailbox server.  It is expected that mail will be posted from the workstation to the mailbox server via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).  This RFC specifies a proposed protocol for the ARPA-Internet community, and requests discussion and suggestions for improvement.  The status of this protocol is experimental, and this protocol is dependent upon TCP.",
