Okay after plugging away at this last night I think I made some definable 
progress.  It appears the problem was twofold.

1) Solid-pop3d by default has APOP authentication enabled as well as PASSWORD 
and APOP has a special file one builds with username and password stuff in it 
(I think anyways). 

2) Twisted.Mail.POP3Client uses APOP when login() is called.  Which it calls on 
line 454.  Even when a server doesnt support APOP it will still attempt APOP.

This behavior was changed with the patch 
http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/attachment/ticket/2520/pop3client.diff.txt so 
that if a server doesnt support APOP it will not continue attempting it.

So to make things easiest for me (I am not really interesting in learning how 
to admin APOP if I don't have to) I reinstalled Solid-pop3d and in the 
/etc/spop3d.conf I added "AllowAPOP no" and restarted solid-pop3d.  Next I 
applied the patch to pop3client and restarted zenoss.

After checking the logs zenoss successfully pulled the pop3 email.  HOWEVER if 
I run  zenpop3 run I still get which confuses me.   

Code:
"INFO:zen.pop3:credentials user: collect; pass: ********
INFO:zen.ZenPOP3:Connecting to localhost:8789
INFO:zen.ZenPOP3:Connected to ZenHub
INFO:zen.pop3:connecting to server using plaintext
INFO:zen.ZenPOP3:Daemon ZenPOP3 shutting down
ERROR:zen.pop3:Connection failed to management.int:110
INFO:zen.ZenPOP3:zenpop3 shutting down
"



I have verified that its working but it fails whenever I attempt to test it 
manually.
