Recently, Brian said something like:
: Is there a secure way of sending host/password for POP3 account to the demon
: (or any) mail servers ie not plain text.
With regard to the second question (or any), yes: a consultation
of /etc/services indicates:
pop3s 995/tcp spop3 # pop3 protocol over TLS/SSL
I know it works because I use it privately.
With regard to the second question, to the best of my knowledge,
Demon do not operate a secure POP3 service.
