Hi,
I have seen that the problem is that Qpopper 4.0.2 ignores the POP pass 
command with empty string and waits for a new pass command, but Qpopper 4.0.2 
doesn't shows any warning message about this.

I have discovered this using this test:
      % telnet YYYY pop3
      Trying [SNIP]...
      Connected to YYYY.
      Escape character is '^]'.
      +OK Qpopper (version 4.0.2) at YYYY starting.
      user joeuser<CR>
      +OK Password required for joeuser.
      pass<CR>
At this point if you wait several minutes, the Qpopper will show the timeout 
error message because it is waiting for input and it has received nothing in 
the timeout seconds.
If, at this point, you write this:
      nocommand<CR>
      -ERR Unknown command: "nocommand".
you get an answer from Qpopper POP3 server. This indicates us that the server 
is waiting for input and that it has ignored the previous pass command.

Greetings.
