If no username is specified,
assumes that it's the same as on the local machine;
hostname
defaults to the value of the
MAILHOST
environment variable.
Supported options:
-5
--krb5
use Kerberos 5 (if compiled with support for Kerberos 5)
-f
--fork
fork before starting to delete messages
-l
--leave
don't delete fetched mail
--from
behave like from.
-c
--count
first print how many messages and bytes there are.
--headers = headers
a list of comma-separated headers that should get printed.
-p port-spec
--port = port-spec
use this port instead of the default

`1109'
The default is to first try Kerberos 5 authentication and then, if
that fails, Kerberos 4.

points to the post office, if no other hostname is specified.
