[REBOL] Re: Authenticated POP
From: philb:upnaway at: 30-May-2001 20:54
Hi Scott (or Holger),
How do I tell if my ISP (or their server) supports APOP.
Just wondering if I can tell if my POP password is being broadcast "plain text".
If I use Rebol to read my mail is it any more insecure than Outlook Express ??
Cheers Phil

We added support for APOP (POP with encrypted passwords) in this version
of REBOL. The support is usually transparent, i.e. REBOL only uses APOP
if the server declares that it supports it, and even then falls back to
regular POP if an error occurs with APOP.
