POP3 and Ruby on Rails

rubyonrails-talk

I'm new to Ruby on Rails. Is there a way for it to talk to a POP3 mailbox? I'd like to write something that connects to a server, checks the size of mail in the inbox, and either deletes or sends an e-mail to an administrator reporting the space used.

Any info would be great!!

I do know how to do this in PHP, but my shared host doesn't have IMAP enabled.

Took all of 10 seconds searching google. “ruby pop3”

You do understand Rails is a framework built on Ruby, right?
