Reading Log Files

Hello,

We are using courier-imap to service both imap and pop3
accounts on our 
mailserver.  The box itself is Slackware 10.1

Please consider the following:

Mar 28 11:31:02 ns2 pop3d: LOGIN, user=abc123,
ip=[::ffff:1.2.3.4]
Mar 28 11:31:02 ns2 pop3d: LOGOUT, user=abc123,
ip=[::ffff:1.2.3.4], 
top=0, retr=0, rcvd=12, sent=39, time=0

What do the variables mean?  tap, retr, rvcd, sent, time?

I have no clue on tap.  Retr is probably retrieve, but what
are the units?  
Retrieved 0 messages?  Rvcd might be received, but what are
the units?  
Received 12 bytes?  What about sent, and time?

I have searched high and low for the info, and have mannaged
to miss it.  

Thanks,

Christian

I'm not 100% sure, but I think rcvd is the amount of data
received over 
the connection (in bytes).
Similarly sent - number of bytes sent over the connection.
Time - amount of time in seconds the connection was
established.
I have no idea on top.

The above are just guesses based on my experience, so I
could be wrong; 
feel free to correct me.
