 I hate to say it, but it's a bug in your server. It doesn't advertise USER
in its AUTH reply which, according to the POP3 standard, means that it
doesn't support USER, and as it also doesn't include AUTH capability in its
reply (and doesn't support it, anyhow), there is no way to login to it.

 So formally Mahogany behaviour is 100% correct. Informally, it would, of
course, be more useful to be able to login to the server, even if it's
broken (and for what reasons could a server be *that* broken is really
beyond me...). The fix is trivial, but you'll need to wait until the next
Windows snapshot/release to be able to use it, unless you can build it
yourself. In the meanwhile, please complain to the server admins and tell
them to install something at least vaguely standard compliant instead of
this horror.
