DESCRIPTION

Once a POPSTORE_user_context structure has been initialized with calls to POPSTORE_user_create_set, a user account is then created with POPSTORE_user_create. POPSTORE_user_create will create a new profile file and user database entry containing the information contained in the POPSTORE_user_context structure. Once the account is created, it may then begin receiving mail and be accessed by POP clients. When the account is created, the last billing field for the account is set to the creation time for the profile file. An example of using POPSTORE_user_create and POPSTORE_user_create_set is given in
