I am not sure that is accurate.

When testing the recent discussion about long addresses, when viewing the
logs, the user name and password were encrypted to some extent by Outlook.
Now, I did not do a NetMon session on the receiving server to check what was
actually received, but the POP3 log by Outlook showed it encrypted.
