That server is > running 2.3.10, and has this configuration (i don't use pop3 on this > server): Seems like it might be worth trying out a newer version. This is mainly academic, as was mentioned earlier users can still issue the traditional user/pass commands to long - and any pop3 client should support this method. The problems I'm seeing are likely with a few bad clients (thunderbird) that get the mechlist once and never forget it (until restarted) - even after making server settings changes. Thanks for the help, I'll let you know if the new version resolves the problem once I get a chance to try it out. -Blake ---- Cyrus Home Page: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/ Cyrus Wiki/FAQ: http://cyrusimap.web.cmu.edu/twiki List Archives/Info: http://asg.web.cmu.edu/cyrus/mailing-list.html
