                     18: The \fImsgchk\fR program checks all known mail drops for mail waiting
                     19: for you to receive.
                     20: For those drops which have mail for you,
                     21: \fImsgchk\fR will indicate if it believes that you have seen the mail
                     22: in question before.
                     23: @BEGIN: POP
                     24: 
                     25: If the local host is configured as a POP client,
                     26: or if the `\-host\ host' switch is given,
                     27: \fImsgchk\fR will query the POP service host as to the status of mail waiting.
                     28: The `\-user\ user' switch may be given to specify the name of the POP
                     29: subscriber you wish to check mail for on the POP service host.
                     30: The `\-rpop' switch uses the UNIX \fIrPOP\fR
                     31: (authentication done via trusted connections).
                     32: In contrast, the `\-norpop' switch uses the ARPA \fIPOP\fR
                     33: (in which case \fImsgchk\fR will prompt for a password).
                     34: @END: POP
