Wait a little... do they need to be encrypted?

In my userdb file, I have just the plaintext password, the very same
string I send as 'pass <string>' when trying to log into my pop3 box.

Or can it be that I use the wrong username? I try to log in using just
the username.

Again, my failed attempt to connect and the corresponding line from
userdb:

>> pop3schnobs     
>> uid=1002|gid=1002|home=/home/vmail|mail=/home/vmail/pop3schnobs|pop3pw=secret

Should user be more, like [EMAIL PROTECTED] or even [EMAIL PROTECTED]
Should pass not be sent as plaintext, but encoded/encrypted in any way?
