ipop3d and APOP

On a WAG, you just have to check the 'use encrypted authentication' on
the client.

Basically, IIRC, the pop convestation runs along these lines:

telnet popserver 110
c: user sinck
s: ok [or something equivalent]
c: pass my_pop_pass_here
s: ok 24000 messages
c: retr 1
s:
message
one
here
.
c: quit


For authenticated pop, instead of issuing the 'pass' command,
there would be some sort of encryption of the password and have it
sent with the 'auth' command.
