Hi Jerry and list, How I have interpreted Stacy's comments is that her ISP will be changing so that "secure password authentication" is required.
If secure password authentication is required, the password is never actually sent directly to the POP3 server, but checked using a series of mathematical calculations exchanged between the server and the client. This means that even if the server is compromised, the password cannot be retrieved. it is this feature that I presume Stacey is speaking of, which has not been implemented in KeyMail. Jerry, I think Don has already explained that the only authentication setting in the directory of services is to do with SMTP servers, (sending email).
