Mail::POP3#find

Find emails in a POP3 mailbox. Without any options, the 5 last received emails are returned.

Possible options:
  what:  last or first emails. The default is :first.
  order: order of emails returned. Possible values are :asc or :desc. Default value is :asc.
  count: number of emails to retrieve. The default value is 10. A value of 1 returns an
         instance of Message, not an array of Message instances.
  delete_after_find: flag for whether to delete each retreived email after find. Default
          is false. Use #find_and_delete if you would like this to default to true.
