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

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.
