You could try this, I don't know if it will work... Create a file called /etc/c-client.cf ...and in it put exactly these three lines... I accept the risk set disable-plaintext 0 ... make sure to put in the first line, even though it looks like a joke! I used this configuration to get the ipop3d and imapd from package imap-2002-45.rpm working with plaintext passwords. If it doesn't help then come back here, I had exactly the same problem - no need to use security as on a LAN.

Hello list,

after upgrading from SuSE 8.0 to 9.0 I have a problem with our POP3 server: we use simple plain text logins for the mail server (we really do not need more security). With 8.0 this works with ipop3d out of the box. On 8.2 login is no longer possible. I replaced the ipop3d with the program from 8.0 and it worked fine again. Now after the upgrade to 9.0 this is not possible anymore, as the 8.0 program wants an older version of libssl. So I am stuck here.

Want can I do to make ipop3d work again? Was has changed against the version in 8.0? I cannot find any related information in the READMEs etc.

Thanks for any help!

Jürgen
