Thread: Should I retry some commands during a POP3 session? Read more: Should I retry some c

Hello,

I'm writing a peer2mail client. To connect to the mailboxes I use pop3 protocol. I'm connecting to a pop3 server and downloading some mails using commands like:
- USER
- PASS
- STAT
- TOP
- RETR

I want the program to be as reliable as possible. I'd like to ask you then, if I should retry sending some commands in case of their failure. If so, which of them and how many times? Should I retry the connection to pop3server itself?

Thank you in advance for your effort,
Michael.
