Ralf Hauser commented on JAMES-376:
-----------------------------------

Probably, I was misleading with my reference to the RFC.

The problem already occurs now with the  private void doPASS(String 
command,String argument,String argument1)
 in 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/trunk/src/java/org/apache/james/pop3server/POP3Handler.java
 or rather 
public boolean test(String name, String password) {
in 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/trunk/src/java/org/apache/james/userrepository/UsersFileRepository.java

or public boolean verifyPassword(String pass) { 
in 
https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/james/server/trunk/src/java/org/apache/james/userrepository/DefaultUser.java

> encoding pop input as "ASCII" causes problems with passwords that are 8-bit

> it appears that new Outlook allows for 8 bit instead of the ascii, so if a 
> password containing a "ΓΌ" or other Umlaut is used, there may be problems.
> org.apache.james.pop3server.POP3Handler.handleConnection(Socket connection) 
> determines the encoding.
> It doesn't appear that base64 or alike as in 
> http://james.apache.org/rfclist/pop3/rfc1734.txt is used.
