RE: ipopd plain text passwords
Just an update and again Thank you both Pim and John for your suggestions.
I've tracked down that the reason plain text passwords don't work is that
when I install ipopd it doesn't include the LOGIN authentication module(?).
I'm still poking around but if someone has any suggestions on why this
authentication scheme can't be re-selected any further suggestions would be
very much appreciated. Thanks to those who have thus far spent even a second
pondering my problem.

John Fleming also suggested that along with uninstalling it using --purge. I
get reasked which ipopd services I want to run but it doesn't re-ask the
question regarding passwords. When I telnet to port 110 I can't issue a USER
command to login via telnet. When I issue AUTH I get the following:
50: # telnet localhost 110
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
+OK POP3 localhost v2003.83 server ready
AUTH
+OK Supported authentication mechanisms:
.
Any ideas? :(
