TIdPOP3 handles APOP for you automatically. You do not need to do anything for it yourself. The only reliable way to verify whether APOP is available is to look at the server's Greeting text. If it includes a timestamp surrounded by angle brackets, which resembles an e-mail message ID, then APOP is supported. The Capabilities property *may* or *may not* include an APOP entry as well. RFC 2449, which introduces the CAPA command into the POP3 protocol, intentionally leaves out support for the APOP command since the Greeting text already provides the same thing. Gambit
