   Internet Message Protocol  ------------------------------------ (MPM)

      STATUS:  Experimental

      SPECIFICATION:  RFC 759

      COMMENTS:

         This is an experimental multimedia mail transfer protocol.  The
         implementation is called a Message Processing Module or MPM.

         Please discuss any plans for implementation or use of this
         protocol with the contact.

   Post Office Protocol  ----------------------------------------- (POP)

      STATUS:  Experimental

      SPECIFICATION:  RFC 918

      COMMENTS:

         The intent of the Post Office Protocol (POP) is to allow a
         user's workstation to access mail from a mailbox server.  It is
         expected that mail will be posted from the workstation to the
         mailbox server via the Simple Mail Transfer Protocol (SMTP).
         For further information see RFC-821 and RFC-822.

         Please discuss any plans for implementation or use of this
         protocol with the contact.
