Re: [cobalt-users] Problems with POP service

[Jay Kraft <jkraft@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Interesting Anomoly.

Found that if you use the password that belongs to the administrator as you
POP3 password, the RaQ thinks it must use APOP even if APOP is not turned
on. When you change the password to something other than the admin
password, the popper acts normally.

Also, had to save changes several times in all relevant screens to get
email working properly on a RaQ3. Whoever said you have to "kick start" it
by doing this was correct (elegant, eh!).
