   I'm developing an online email app and it logs into some accounts just fine,
   but it seems to be having trouble logging into some users' accounts, and not
   giving me very much info . . .

   This gives me the output:

   USER failed:

   What does this mean?

Pre-authentication error messages tend to be uninformative, by design.
After all, if the server distinguished between "bad user" and "bad
password," spammers could fish for valid addresses.  If I were you, I'd
check the POP server logs, and see if there's a way to enable verbose
logging.
