Hi all, below is a small patch fixing an authentication problem with one of my mail providers (pop3.netcologne.de) which replies to the "CAPA" (RFC 2449) command, but does not offer USER authentication explicitly:
[snip]
This /could/ be interpreted as "the server must support either APOP or USER (i.e. one of the basic ones), even if it reports a SASL (AUTH) mechanism as reply to CAPA". At least, I /can/ login using the USER mechanism...
Attached is a new patch, superseding the first approach. It implements The 'AUTH PLAIN' SASL mechanism for POP3 according to RFC 5043 and RFC 4616, resolving the issue for me. I think this is the cleaner approach... Opinions? Cheers, Albrecht.
