[jira] [Created] (NUTCH-1861) Implement POP3 Protocol

Lewis John McGibbney created NUTCH-1861:
-------------------------------------------

             Summary: Implement POP3 Protocol
                 Key: NUTCH-1861
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/NUTCH-1861
             Project: Nutch
          Issue Type: Task
          Components: protocol
            Reporter: Lewis John McGibbney
             Fix For: 2.4, 1.10


Implementing the Post Office Protocol within Nutch would open up a new use case which is crawling and indexing of some mail servers.

This is particularly useful for investigation purposes or for porting/mapping mail from one server to another. 

We *may* be able to kil two bird with the one stone by implementing both IMAP and POP3 protocols under the one plugin.
