I *think* that POP3, even though it can use authentication, sends the
password as clear text. But then again I could be wrong.

Subject: [IMail Forum] About IMail security for concerned user
Although I'm satisfied that our new IMail server is secure, I have one user
who sent me the following message when he found out what we were using...
" ... I would like to have security. POP3
exposes my password and my mail contents. "
I don't know what he's talking about. Can anyone advise me on this one?
