Correct.

I think it can be made to work with APOP. Python's poplib contains an
`apop' method. From the docs:
apop(user, secret)
Use the more secure APOP authentication to log into the POP3 server
So, the user would just send tmda-ofmipd his apop username and secret
to authenticate rather than his username and plain text password.
Make sense?
