Probably I'm just being stupid. The .ini file doesn't have the POP3 email password in clear? That's just for the web interface? How/where would I enter the email password in the pop3proxy? Is that in email client (Thunderbird)- but that looks at localhost, and sends a password there. More stupidity- does that simply get passed on to the email POP3 server?
Sorry for making a false alarm, if that's what I did.

That's the rub. Nothing related to the user interface has changed in a long
while.  I'd be surprised if any older version behaved differently.

I'm not the author of the POP3 proxy application, so it will probably take
me awhile to figure out where it's even generating the password entry.

Skip

Looking at the Advanced Configuration page in 1.1b1, the only password I can see is for access to the web UI. This password does not have to be (and should not be) identical to the user's email password.

Skip is correct when he says this has not changed recently. At the very least, it has been this way since 1.04, circa 2005.
