Remove spam from POP server after Mail download
Authored by: stevewest on Thu, Nov 15 2007 at 6:42AM PST
Could somebody please provide a quick walkthrough on installing mpop?

I just installed Xcode Tools then tried to compile mpop using "./configure". The configure process and compile seemed to run without errors, but I can't find the mpop unix executable or invoke it in terminal.

Obviously I'm missing something. Should I be unpacking it to a particular directory before installing?

Once you've done
./configure
run make, and make install
make; make install
. if make install doesn't install the binary into your search path (where bash looks for executables), you can just copy it to /usr/local/bin (one of the directories in the path). Once you've done this
which mpop
should list mpop as being in /usr/local/bin
