pop3 port monitor / traffic sniffer

[Tomas]

Long time ago, someone suggested a good freeware pop3 port sniffer, but I lost the info and can't trace it by searching anywhere. (In fact I installed a bunch of trial versions but it stopped my net connection from working.)

So if someone can recommend a simple working pop3 traffic logger, preferrably freeware, I would be eternaly thankful.

What I need is to see the plain text pop commands that email client is sending to server, and the responses received from server, ie. complete conversation during connection.

Oh well....as usual. Two hours no luck, but 5 minutes after posting, I found it. It's called Trivial Proxy.

What about Wireshark?
Glad you found the other one back.

Thanks Eric, it looks promising and works fine for pop3 capture. I guess I'm all setup, one simple and one advanced sniffer is all I could have wished for

Wireshark - formerly Ethereal - is what I would choose. But it won't help over SSL connections.

I hope not...
