        if [capa] is not understood.
     *)

  method quit : unit -> unit
    (** Requests the server to end this session. If the session is

     (** Closes the file descriptors *)

  (* Authorization Commands *)

  method apop : user:string -> pass:string -> unit

        Example:

  method list : ?msgno:int -> unit -> (int,int * string) Hashtbl.t
    (** Returns the scan listing for an optional message number or
     * for all messages in the current mailbox. The result is a hash
     * table that maps a message number to a tuple [(size,ext)] where
     * [size] is the size of the message in octets, and [ext] is any 
     * server extension data.
     *)

  method retr : msgno:int -> in_obj_channel
    (** Retrieves a message from the server. *)

  method dele : msgno:int -> unit
    (** Marks the message number of the current mailbox for deletion. *)

  method noop : unit -> unit
    (** Pings the server to keep the session alive. *)

  method rset : unit -> unit
    (** Unmarks any messages that have previously been marked as
     * deleted.
     *)

  method top  : ?lines:int -> msgno:int -> unit -> in_obj_channel
    (** Returns the message header plus a limited number of lines
     * of the message body. The default body length is 0 lines.
     *)

  method uidl : ?msgno:int -> unit -> (int,string) Hashtbl.t
    (** Returns the unique identifier(s) for an optional message number
     * or for all messages in the current mailbox. The result is a

  (** Authenticates the session:

      - requests capabilitlies
      - if the server supports TLS, and [tls_config] is set, the
        TLS session is started, and the capabilities are refreshed.
      - if SASL support is announced by the server, one of the [sasl_mechs]
        is taken and used for authentication. If [sasl_mechs] is empty,
        this authentication step is skipped.

      Options:

      - [tls_config]: if set, TLS is tried on the connection
      - [tls_required]: if set, it is even required that TLS is supported.
        If not, a {!Netsys_types.TLS_error} exception is raised.
      - [tls_peer]: the host name of the server (only needed for TLS, and
        only needed if the TLS configuration authenticates the server, or
        if the SNI extension is active)
      - [sasl_mechs]: available SASL mechanisms (in order of preference).
        If you pass mechanisms, you'll normally also need to pass [user]
        and [creds].
      - [sasl_params]: parameters for SASL. A "digest-uri" parameter is
        always generated, and need not to be set
      - [user]: the user name to authenticate as
      - [authz]: the identity to act as (authorization name)
      - [creds]: credentials

     You can get a simple TLS configuration with:

     {[
let tls_config =
  Netsys_tls.create_x509_config
    ~system_trust:true
    ~peer_auth:`Required
    (Netsys_crypto.current_tls())
     ]}

      SASL example:

{[
Netpop.authenticate
  ~sasl_mechs:[ (module Netmech_scram_sasl.SCRAM_SHA1);
                (module Netmech_digest_sasl.DIGEST_MD5);
              ]
  ~user:"tom"
  ~creds:[ "password", "sEcReT", [] ]
  client
]}
