Hi Stacey,

With regard to your query about whether or not the BrailleNote and company 
support POP3 authentication:

I'm not sure what this really means since all POP3 services require 
authentication before you can retrieve mail.  So, in the respect that you 
must authenticate to fetch your mail, BrailleNote supports the feature by 
compunction, using only plaintext logins (no APOP, RFC1939, no SSL).

However, you might have really been asking about POP-Before-SMTP, in which 
the POP3 service authentication is used, for a given amount of time, to 
inform the SMTP service of the legitimacy of a connection made to it for 
relaying or submission.  If this is what you refer to, then simply 
checking your mail before sending it is usually sufficient as a 
workaround, though PulseData could make sure this feature was supported by 
always guaranteeing that mail was checked before being sent in the case of 
a full mail update, or else a null POP3 login occurs (a login in which 
only a quit command is sent immediately following successful login) just 
prior to a submission.

Cheers,
Sabahattin
