More information, I've managed to get the IMAP box connceted now, but the pop one still refuses. I've added the pop3s entry to xinetd but still no connection.
Did you generate a ipop3d ssl cert? The new imap/pop server WILL do plain text passwords IF the connection itself is encrypted, i.e. ssl. I have Windows using the pop server. You need to create the ipop3d.pem file (check and adapt from imap entry in sdb), and change your xinet.d to add the pop3s (which you said you did [enabled?]), then change your Windows clients to use ssl, which in Netscape (Windows) changes the port automatically to 995 instead of 110. If your firewall also protects from internal, you may need to open that port as well. The advantage (to me) of using the ssl versus /etc/cram-md5 file is it uses users linux usernames/passwords. For me, this is a help, and it encrypts the whole session, not just the password.
