You know, I created a profile to try this myself and sure enough you're right, there's
no option to enable secure POP-3. I could've sworn I used to use secure POP3 with
netscape (now I just use IMAP) but I guess I must not have. Sorry for the
disinformation. Eudora probably does support it if that's an option.
