In fact seems to be your checkpassword!
I'm using  http://www.whirlycott.com/phil/checkpoppasswd.c which you have to
compile with gcc -o checkpassword checkpoppasswd.c -lcrypt

To generate a Password use the following Perl Script...

    #!/usr/bin/perl -w
    print "Please enter a Word you wanna use as POP3 Password: ";
    $pass=<STDIN>; chomp($pass);
    print "Now enter a 2 Letter Salt Value: ";
    $salt=<STDIN>; chomp($salt);
    print "Generated Password is: "; print crypt($pass, $salt);
    print "\n";
