But TIdPOP3 has a "APOP" property. If it is "false" TIdPOP3 send the 
username and password in plain text, so everyone (hackers, ect.) can read 
it. If I set the property to "true" and the server does not support APOP, 
the operation fails and I get an exception error. I (or the user) have first 
to deactivate APOP manually.

I think, I did not understand you correctly. :-( How or when does TIdPOP3 
handles APOP automatically?
