OK. So Mozilla and Nutscrape use SSL. That's an option for the
_connection_, not for authentication.
While The Bat! 1.53 seems to be set up using 'MD5-APOP' which is an option
for authentication and not connection.
So two issues are mixed up here ... :-/

YC> I installed the qmail-vpopmail with "POP3 Server with APOP and SSL support"

That's fine. The problem is:
There is no 'qmail-vpopmail'. This are two different, co-working,
softwares.
The next thing is: neither qmail nor vpopmail does support SSL 'from
scratch' so this must be either an 'stunnel'-based installation or a
patches qmail version -> what patch (incl. qmail-version and patch-version)
did you (the vendor) apply?
The next is: vpopmail is capable of APOP, AFAIK. But what vpopmail-version
are you using? 5.2? 5.3.x (devel branch)?
If you're using and older vpopmail than 5.2: is this user created as 'APOP'
user?
When using >=5.2: is 'clear-passwd' enabled? IIRC APOP relies on that.

I'd suggest the first step you take is installing The Bat! 1.54, available
from
http://www.ritlabs.com/the_bat/

and enable SSL with normal POP3-authentication in The Bat!. This should be
the same Mozilla & Nutscrape are currently set up at your side.
This way your password will be SSL-encrypted when transferred to the server
and therefore be secure even if it's not extra encrypted by any
MD5-algorithm.

If this work you can start playing with APOP authentication, but you have
to make sure your server is set up correctly. You'll need to make sure
vpopmail is set up correctly to handle APOP and the user you're about to
authenticate with APOP is enabled for this.
