Okay, so the qmail pop3d is saying it can do APOP, but checkpoppasswd
doesn't do APOP.  Damn.  How should I handle this?  Should I modify
checkpoppasswd to do APOP as well?  In case this is handy at all, here is
how pop3d is started:

    supervise /var/supervise/qmail/pop3 tcpserver -v -H -R 0 pop-3 \
       /var/qmail/bin/qmail-popup www.freestylesoft.com \
       /bin/checkpoppasswd /var/qmail/bin/qmail-pop3d Maildir 2>&1 | \
       /var/qmail/bin/splogger pop3d &

The only reason I am using this paticular password check is because we are
doing pop3 through a single UID on the mail server.

Would it make sense at all that if evolution fails at APOP to revert to
straight POP, or is defeating the whole purpose of APOP?
