Courier doesn't support APOP. It has been requested in the past, but last I saw, Sam declined to implement it due to it being obsoleted by SASL authentication. I imagine your Mac server has been configured to _require_ APOP and disallow USER/PASS authentication. You can test this easily by telnetting to port 110 on the Mac, and trying USER nnn / PASS mmm > SSL is another matter- the 'courier-pop3-ssl' daemon is running on the same > server, and i have verified that it is working by issuing the commands: > > $ openssl s_client -host hostname.domain -port 993 > > $ openssl s_client -host hostname.domain -port 995 > > both of which allow me to login to the mail server. there are some errors > reported but it still works. here is the output: Your OE client seems to be unhappy with the self-signed certificate. Either tell OE to accept that certificate (somehow - it seems to be telling you to use Explorer to permit the certificate), or buy yourself a proper server certificate.
