HOW TO VIEW EMAILS USING TELNET



There are many ways to check emails . In this article i'll tell you how to check/view mails using telnet.
The following steps are only for windows OS, i am not sure of MAC and linux or other OS users, it may work for them also.

Step1:  if you are using windows vista/7/8 then , telnet may be disabled by default. To enable telnet
go to Control panel --> programs-->Turn Windows Features on or off. 
Then check telnet client and allow it to configure. telnet will be enabled on your OS now.

Step2: Go to STart ---> all Programs--> accessories-->command prompt.



Step3: in command prompt type -- telnet  yourmailprovider.com 110 (where "youremailprovider" is the name of the service you use for email).
